Bloggin' Be My Life: The Hobo Philosopher
ISBN: 9781478325963 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) About ten years back, I discovered the blogging network and I jumped on it. I was writing for a newspaper at the time and I felt that a blog might provide me with a sort of pretend audience. In any case, it was fun. My blog, the Hobo Philosopher, has a little of everything. I've serialized whole books. I've posted short stories, poems, book reviews, satire, humor, interviews and some of my newspaper articles. I've vented with some political blogs. I've innovated with some of my personal economic and philosophical theories. Blogging has been good for me. It has helped to keep me sane - if you...

Noble Notes on Famous Folks
ISBN: 9780979808555 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Noble Notes on Famous Folks is, first of all, a book of historical essays. This is to say that they contain the opinions, insights, and interpretations of the author along with historical facts, quotes and situations. This is not a history book. It is a book about history. Most of the sources are stated in the individual note. All these notes were originally written for my own edification and to assist my memory. You might look at this work as my homeschooled college diary or study notes. I've included in this volume a variety of ancient and modern characters ranging from Constantine to Bill...

It's A Long Story
ISBN: 9781481238304 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The unique stories contained in this volume are either long short stories or short long stories. They are too long to be considered short stories and too short to be considered novels. When I first started working for a local newspaper, I asked my boss how many words would he like my stories and articles to contain. He said, "Write the story until it is finished. Once it is finished, we'll deal with the length." I liked that idea. Write the story until it is finished. Don't worry about how long it should be or how short it could be. Write the story until it is done and then stop. That is the...

Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot: Anecdotes and Tales from the Old Neighborhood, Lawrence - My Hometown

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In answer to this depressing question, "Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot," my answer should be quite obvious. This is number eight in my series about the old gang and me hangin' out on the various street corners, alleys, hallways and barrooms and watering holes of our hometown in good old Lawrence, Mass. I have two more volumes to construct and that should, without doubt, give me the world's record for the most short stories ever written about a city in New England that no one ever heard of and that many of the folks who have lived there are still trying to forget. It was twice voted the...

Come On-A My House: Anecdotes and Tales from the Old Neighborhood, Lawrence - My Hometown
ISBN: 9781480187320 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) "Come On-A My House" is the fourth effort in my Lawrence - My Hometown series. Like the last three, this book contains varied anecdotes about the old neighborhood and the old gang. In it I try once again to create a picture of a time and a place and a neighborhood that once was but is no more. On the front cover of this volume I have a picture of the old tenement where I was raised. This is a very old picture of the structure at 32 Chelmsford Street in North Lawrence. It is the house as I remember it as a kid. Most of the folks in the photo are my relatives - grandmother, grandfather, uncles...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) I seem to have inadvertently accrued a rather extensive resume in ... food. I've harvested vegetables commercially as a laborer in the fields all over America. I've plucked fruit from the tress and filled thousands of bushels for sale and consumption by my fellow Americans.

Eat, Drink And Be Merry: Anecdotes and Tales from the Old Neighborhood, Lawrence - My Hometown
ISBN: 9781494963842 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In Lawrence, my hometown we had "Lawton's by the Sea." Lawton's was typical of Lawrence and atypical of everywhere else in the world. First of all it had a fire hydrant in the lobby. It wasn't really a fire hydrant but it looked like a fire hydrant. It was some sort of on/off valve that had something to do with regulating the flow of water or water level of the canal that sat just behind Lawton's back door - hence the comic description, "Lawton's by the Sea." The canals that were constructed back in the 1800s to provide power to the textile machinery and were the reason for the initial...

A Baker's Dozen: Featuring Cain & Bernard's Along with 12 other Selected Short Stories
ISBN: 9781452860855 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) I've come to the conclusion that most of what I write can be classified under one category, Creative Non-fiction. It is all true ... but not exactly. When I write about things that are common to my wife Carol and me, her comment is, "I love reading my husband's descriptions of our adventures. I get the enjoyment from the adventure that I experienced and then the added pleasure of reading about the trip he went on." And that about covers it. All the stories in this book happened. They just may not have happened exactly as I have described them.

Tenement Dwellers: Anecdotes and Tales from the Old Neighborhood, Lawrence - My Hometown

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Tenement Dwellers is the second volume of anecdotes from my series of books about the old neighborhood and growing up in a collapsing, forgotten industrial mill town along the Eastern seaboard of the United States. Lawrence, Massachusetts was my hometown. It was seven square miles of three-decker tenement houses, housing projects, kids and congestion. It was schoolyards, churches, smokestacks, pool halls, back alleys, barrooms and mile after mile of abandoned, redbrick mill buildings. Life was difficult trying to raise oneself in such an environment. As I said in my first volume, "Just...

That Old Gang of Mine: Anecdotes and Tales from the Old Neighborhood, Lawrence - My Hometown

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) That Old Gang of Mine is my third volume in this series about Lawrence, my hometown. The word hometown means many, different things to different people. It is a word that has numerous meanings for me also. Some of them are good and some of them are bad. Lawrence, Massachusetts was not a pretty place when I was growing up there way back when. It is even less pretty today. The paint on the old tenements was often bubbling and peeling. The railings on the steps could be wobbly and often there was a wooden step to be avoided here and there. All the apartments were filled with used or secondhand...

The Eastpointer: Life In A Sleepy, Little Fishing Village

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) My column "The Eastpointer" appears each week in the "Franklin Chronicle." In 2007 I won the first place award for humor from the Florida Press Association. Eastpoint is in the Florida Panhandle. In a way this is a history book because the Eastpoint and Franklin County that existed when we arrived are gone. Franklin County has been, traditionally, a seafood community and Eastpoint is the oyster capital of Florida. This volume contains a selection of columns that create a portrait of life in the "sleepy, little fishing village" of Eastpoint, Florida. The book presents an entertaining variety...

Down by the Old Mill Stream: Anecdotes and Tales from the Old Neighborhood, Lawrence - My Hometown

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) "Down by the Old Mill Stream" was one of my dad's favorite songs. My dad would have a few beers and then turn up the radio. He and I would then begin to harmonize to the smiling yet cynical faces of the rest of the family. I suppose we weren't all that good. It sounded great to me, though. This memory goes back to my early childhood and the late 1940's. We didn't have a TV in those days. Before all we Americans became addicted to the TV, people had pianos in their living rooms and music emanating from a tube filled contraption that sat in the parlor somewhere in the vicinity of that old...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Come along with Carol and Dick and live in the places where Charles Kuralt was afraid to park his bus. Feel the pain, joy and anger and shake the calloused hands that make America what it is. See America in its glory and its shame. See it from the highways, the sidewalks and the gutters. Meet Asians, Indians, Jamaicans, Haitians and Mexicans - meet most of them in one chicken factory in central Arkansas on the third shift. See America from the bottom of the cracker barrel.

Standing on the Corner: Anecdotes and Tales from the Old Neighborhood, Lawrence - My Hometown
ISBN: 9781492164661 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Standing on the Corner We were always standing on some corner in the old neighborhood. I don't remember the actual date that we moved the gang to the Howard Playstead and settled on the corner of Lawrence Street and Birchwood Road but we were still little guys not even teenagers. We called that corner pictured on the cover of this volume "home" right up until we all were graduating from teenager hood. On some evenings during the summer months we could gather fifteen or twenty guys up there. I thought the song "Standing on the Corner" by the Four Lads was really written by a guy from my...
