I checked out this book from Xavier University 84 weeks ago through OhioLINK. That’s right: As of the publication of this blog, 588 days — and I owe no overdue fines for it. I checked it out six months before the pandemic shutdowns began. That was before Joaquin Phoenix was unleashed upon the U.S. as The Joker and before Tom Hanks was unleashed upon the U.S. as Mister Rogers. And I didn’t get a bill for replacement fees. I've had this venerable history of the kings of the English people in my possession for over a year and a half. That's longer than the marriages of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries, Kid Rock and Pamela Anderson, Renée Zellweger and Kenny Chesney, Lisa Marie Presley and Nicolas Cage, Cher and Gregg Allman, and Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine combined — with 22 weeks to spare!
