Yeap, thanks to allaya who reported on the readings. A few summer's back,
Charles B & family & Pierre J & family spent time together way up on Lake
George in upstate New York. We couldn't stop giggling about the fact that a
huge amount of the local stores -- fish bait, sundry, dime, grocery, booze,
candy, restaurant, whatever -- were called Bob's...x...store -- & Charles
wrote them all down & made this funny work out of it. (me, being more
dimwitted & serious, puzzled over the various monikers of "Lake George",
especially the first colonial-jesuitical one, "lake of the holy sacrement",
& that entered the poem "Ode or Nearly Here" in the book h.j.r.
anyway, we've got a reading in Albany too tonight, & a big one: William
Kennedy is doing the first home-town reading from his new novel "Roscoe"
down in the oldest & largest theater in town -- will preobably be the best
party since the last St Patrick's day...
Pierre
