Of pipes and books

Finding comfort in old “Friends”
I’m trying not to feel down but, I’m not really succeeding. Yesterday, I went to the Grande Bibliotheque. I visit every 3 weeks or so. I got a Henning Mankel for my mom, she loves his stuff, me? not so much. I went with my friend Sylvain he explored and so did I. I’ve already… Continue reading Finding comfort in old “Friends”

Enough of that, Thanks to all of you for the support, you know who you are. OK, so, Armistead Maupin’s Micheal Tolliver Lives. I really enjoyed it.
