MY NOVEMBER column was my 25th anniversary column and I just slap-my-head forgot about it. Twenty-five years is a long time to write a 1,250-word column every month and never miss an issue. I have missed most of the deadlines, but never an entire edition. I should have remembered.

So this marks the first column of my next 25 years of writing a column for Printing Impressions. I'll be 92 when I celebrate my golden column anniversary. I sure 'nough hope I'll be able to remember that anniversary or, for that matter, still be able to remember anything at that age.
