Stu & Book
Yeah,
Echelon is so tore up it's nuts. Dead... yes. I hate malls anyhoo.
Took my boys out today for the trip. It was a pleasure to meet STU.
A cool & quiet fellow to talk to. I will say his wife was pleasant as well.
I was there a solid hour ( I kinda like to get Jawin' ) and that was a stretch for the boys in a small bookstore. They're really good but my little dude was burnin' out so it was time to get. We hit the food court on the way out. Another reminder of why I hate malls!
The book, I told myself to take it in stride but coming home I had no ambition to do anything other than put my feet up in a lawnchair & read.
I am no book critic so I'll just say the following. I've read most of it in a relaxing fashion. I like a book that isn't a front to back read. I enjoy moving around.I like reading on N.J places I know about, ones I know a little about, and ones I know nothing about. This had all. It is not a complicated and busy writing. It is odd to meet a person, even briefly and then read his writing, and place him in it. I very much enjoy the photo's.
I even got a little nostalgic on a scant few pages regarding Drive-ins. As I read I welled up with fond memories of my youth in the 70's when that was a big event with mom & dad on weekends. I am amazed that STU can actually perform his "wanderings" but I wish him luck in continuation.
New writings or not, it is an admirable hobby, or lifestyle.
I've gone on again, go figure.
Well, I'm easy to please in a read so STU gets a thank you for the book.
It is added to my library and I say it well worth the price.
There is one problem. The damned thing smells too new! I've got to leave it out in the shed for a few decades.
