I've been in things that have impressed people and they've come up to congratulate you but in a kind of, you-must-think-you're-really-special way.
My father was an academic, an eccentric. He was a lecturer.
My job now is to work hard and learn all I can.
I had reconciled myself to being happily out to pasture, a bit.
To me, the lyrics of the song define the kind of style it is.
I like writing letters and receiving letters. It's a shame that we've lost the art of letter-writing and saving correspondence. I mourn that.
