Abstract

Besides a place where animals are kept, menagerie also means, "An odd or eclectic assortment of things." That would describe our family room. Or basement. Or great room. Or whatever they call the place where people hang out after dinner these days.

Our current "gathering room" is three or four times larger than the den I remember off highway 66. This was NC 66, which connects Kernersville to Horneytown, about nine miles. It was not U.S. Route 66, which connects Chicago to Los Angeles, about 2,000 miles ... and the TV show by the same name.
