After a foggy, dizzily, dreary Saturday drive to La Crosse, I spent a bright
and cheery afternoon signing books at Barnes & Noble. Joining me for the book signing were Kenny
Salwey (the Last River Rat), my daughter Sue, with her book about one room
schools, and Travis Dewitz with his Blaze Orange book of deer hunting photos.
It’s the people who stop by to talk that make these events
interesting. A couple drove all the way
across the state from Sheboygan to buy a few signed books. Long time friends from Monona, Iowa, Elmer
Marting and his wife Carol and daughter Leanne drove through the gloom of an
unusual mid-December day to chat for a bit.
So did nephew and niece Jerry and Barb Johnson—but for them the drive
was short as they live in Holman.
And not to forget Sam Scinta, publisher for Fulcrum Press
and Richard Chrz with Barnes & Noble who put the event together. Sometimes we forget to mention and thank
those working behind the scenes who make these events work.
It was a good afternoon, and my last event for 2014. Time now to put my feet up for a few days
before 2015 rolls around and a new season of events appears on my calendar.
THE OLD TIME SAYS: In the midst of all the hustle and bustle
of the Holidays, remember to spend some time relaxing.
