Gator fan?-sure. But really just a ‘fan’ of life. Hard to think of a Season, Place or Person I haven’t at least tried to like. I’ve always loved music, the Ocean, forests, streams, mountains-cities not as much, though I wouldn’t trade my early N.Y.C. year experiences easily. Hopeful and ‘spaced’ . It’s all good-it’s the effort that counts, results may follow but the experience of really trying is the pay off. It’s more about the process of getting there than where you got. Money would be nice-send all your loose change to me. Franque

You say reading? Try Helprin’s Memoir of an Antproof Case for that long wkend or week off-just a great writer who finds you telling his protagonist that he is absolutely wrong about himself. A long read and a good story: I like both. This book ‘feels’ much like Middletons’ the Earth is Enough-they seem like guy books but the women I know who have read them love them as well. Then again for the slightly longer than a coffee lunch break try Tosches’ Last Opium Den- you know the one in the jungle past the Mcdonalds. If you like encyclopedia reading try Tosches’ Where Dead Voices Gather- an anthology of historic blues phrases as they appear in our now old ‘rock n roll’ days,especially interesting if you had played as I did in bands thru the 60s-70s. But if you, like I do, love to fish there’s this- Seth Normans’ fly fisher’s guide to Crimes of Passion. Norman’s no normal man for sure.He is a fisherman-crazy as us all-buying licenses, tackle, boots, boats, motors all to travel next to the Fedx man thru wind, sleet and snow {mind you,every kind of fish sells in shops in most places}.
SOOO-it’s like this: love of the Earth, love of the great story, love of music,past love, er, been thru the sixties, love books, lovin’ it. Byeee Franque
