Default Barnes and Noble Problem

Skip,

I have seen Leisureville in Barnes and Noble on many of my visits. Did you ask at the information desk whether it was in stock, or if you coud order it?

Leisureville is in the back stacks of the Lake Sumter B & N near the Video/Audio section in Current Affairs section the last I looked.

I doubt if the Morse family would have that much clout to ban Leisureville from a large chain of book stores.

I do not think they even have all that much influence on what movies get into the Villages theaters. That seems to be more up to the distributors and how the theater people who pick the movies think the Villages market will take to the movies.

I stopped by Barnes & Noble on my way home from seeing Blindness
at the Old Mill Playhouse and saw that they had a dozen or so copies of Leisureville at the Customer Service desk as well as two or three in the Current Affairs aisle.

I'm about half way through Leisureville. The author's description of the aesthetics of TV (in the beginning of the book) is such that, had I not been living here, I would have wanted to come to see the place. He paints a very positive and accurate picture of the beauty we enjoy everyday. His commentary on "social obligation" did not sit well with me, probably because that mentality is partly to blame for the sub-prime financial mess we're in. Why he gave so much attention to the sex and booze is unclear. I thought the book lost it's focus. I have about 1/2 of the book to go, I hope it improves.

Mickey,

Mr. Midnight is not a myth and he is a true gentlemen. He was my roommate in the 70's and our lives were very hectic and exciting back then. We were free spirits..... happy hours after work..... bar hopping on the weekends..... and vacationing in Puerto Rico. Where has the time gone?

PS: For those of you that do know him, ask him about Cheryl and two broken beds!

Ahhhh yes. The 70's! My favorite decade.

Well, if you lived in Ravena in the 70's, perhaps I've already met Mr. Midnight. I'm not too far from Ravena.

Well, I'll keep his and your secrets if you keep mine.
