I took the floating book shop to an old nook today, the busy corner of 86th Street and Bay Parkway. I didn't sell any books but I witnessed an interesting high and a low. Dennis, who has purchased three of my books, came staggering by, as disheveled as a homeless person, obviously drunk. He sat beside me and tried and failed to light a cigarette. "I gotta stop drinkin'," he said quietly. He smelled as if he hadn't bathed in a week. To my chagrin, I hoped he would leave. Fortunately, he did. Soon Preacher approached, offering a hand and a hug. I hadn't seen him for two years, since a manager of the TD Bank asked me to vacate the premises. He was as positive as ever, smiling as he passed out leaflets. One of his compatriots did the preaching this day. Then the rain came and we all left the area. And now the sun is shining, the sky clearing, which will allow the crowds to enjoy the fireworks. I may not have sold any books on the street today, but I discovered a web sale. My thanks to whomever bought A Hitch in Twilight at Amazon the past week.
