So after the trip from hell, hell being the part of I-95 from Washington to Fredericksburg, where Robert E Lee and Traveler would have covered the distance faster than we did, we arrived at Williamsburg. As my wife and daughter talked, I was searching for a Days Inn on Pocahontas Trail. When I asked my [...]
So last Saturday, while my wife was at an Antiques appraisal in Beverly, I dropped off the last few boxes of clothes and Christmas decorations of my mother’s at Goodwill. Now I can’t go to Goodwill without check out the used books. I took a quick look through the books and picked up The Alexandria [...]
So this week has been really rough. Since Target was closed last Sunday for Easter, the HR rep. at the store scheduled me for an extra night, which was Tuesday and instead of my usual Friday night I worked last night because my wife and I are going out tonight. Now of and by itself [...]
Ok so how many books is it Ok to read at one time? Right now, I’m reading five! Is that too many? On the fiction side, I’m reading the latest from novel from one of my all time favorite authors James Lee Burke,Creole Belle. He is such a great writer! It takes about two to [...]
When I read this headline I was pissed! (If you’ll be offended by a gun control rant exit now and if you do continue answer the question in the song!)

Tonight while I was out running errands, my cell phone rang, my heart stopped because the call was from my son Peter and the call could not be a good one. He asked if his mother was there, I said I wasn’t home and then he told me that his brother-in-law Will Marris had lost his [...]
Last Saturday at the age of 92, one of the greatest baseball players in Major League history passed away. It has almost been 50 years, (Good Lord), since 1965 when my mother stood in line at one of Department Stores in Philadelphia to have a copy of Stan “The Man” Musial’s autobiography autographed. As [...]
Hello, my name is Edward and I’m a book-a-holic! Yes and I need to be kept away from bokstores and libraries! The other night even after getting so many books for Christmas I was checking out the list of books I made before Christmas and my Wish List on Amazon and I saw Destiny of [...]
So January 1st for me was usually family get together time with my Father’s family, typically, at my Uncle Ott’s or Kenny’s place. I remember many a good New Year’s Day celebration! It was also Uncle Johnny’s birthday. Johnny was my mother’s oldest brother, born in 1923. Johnny would have been the fourth John Sherrington [...]
