Come to me, little book nymph. It is time. Listen, I was at the VA and actually enjoyed sitting in a tight little waiting room as the other vets talked of Clemson's upset victory over the mighty Bama. What a great game it was, what a worthy opponent Clemson. Bama got rid of its Yankee contender with a 24-7 victory and Clemson crushed their Yank with a 31 - 0 shut out. 24+7=31. It was in the numbers. Clemson and Bama stood as equals but the Tide would come up short by a touchdown. It was meant to be. As some of the other vets, commented- it was time.
The vets also talked of food and really good eating places in the area, particularly for those vets who had to travel a distance to get to the Birmingham facility. One that caught my attention was The Paw Paw Patch. I decided that is worth an adventure, and a scouting mission to make sure I know where to find it.
As far as reading Ethan Frome, I found a great website called LibriVox that has free public domain audiobooks, and Ethan Frome was among them. Even better is that I can download the mp3 files on my player and listen to it as I drive about. So, I downloaded the introduction and went out on my scouting mission.
So I am going to combine this audio reading with various driving adventures and see where Mr. Frome takes me.
Starkfield, Massachusetts is a completely fictitious place.
