In the item preceding this one when I wrote about Stan Freberg, I thought I was typing "Stan was a huge influence on my sense of humor…which at times seems like the most precious thing I own." The "c" is next to the "v" on the keyboard and I accidentally wrote, "…which at times seems like the most previous thing I own."
Every human being on this planet (it seems) wrote me to point out the error and I fixed it. But there are times lately when my sense of humor is feeling kind of previous.
