This is actually from yesterday.
I’ve gone back to Durham, North Carolina with Lynn. We are at The Book Exchange where I used to work. I am showing her around the stacks. I notice that they’ve taken the roof off of part of the building, where they keep the romances. I laugh and tell her about the time old Marley put some pornographic books out in the dime section. We find what she wants and go to the counter. The people at the counter recognize me. “Joel Sax! You used to work here. You’re famous!”
I don’t know why they know me. Did they see me on “The Public Enemies on Alcatraz” or did I publish a book finally?
