A moment ago, I was reading WFMT’s obituary for Don Tait. One of his colleagues related the following melomaniacal detail:

I think [Tait] told me he bought a house and had to have the floors reinforced to accommodate the weight of his record collection.[1]

Being about half of his age and with shelves spilling over with music and books, I gulped and asked myself—how long until the floor gives way under me?
