He likes old things...the older the better.(As I become an old ruin, I will still be interesting.)
He says: "When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left, I buy food and clothes." Erasmus(We have similar financial goals.)
He's a good storyteller."History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it."
Winston Churchill
(I don't have to worry about my legacy.)
He's a travelin' man.(And I get to go, too!)
