Let’s just call it thinning the herd

— Phyllis McGinley “A hobby a day keeps the doldrums away.”

Everyone needs a hobby — crafting, creating or collecting. I started collecting model cars as a kid before moving on to real ones.

Still dabbling in both, I found myself surveying the “stable” last week. I was in the garage, wondering how much longer I’ll keep these final three steeds: a 1957 Thunderbird, a ’55 Ford Crown Victoria and my grandmother’s “bought new” ‘57 Ford.
