A New Travel Book with my Essay Inside

Earlier this week I was thrilled to get a copy of a new travel book in the mail. It was Tim Leffel's book from Travel Tales about being a contrarian traveler. It's called Make Your Travel Dollars Worth a Fortune. He approached me months back asking for a sidebar, I gladly submitted my essay on my childhood visits to offseason Atlantic City and Martha's Vineyard. It is nice to see this book come out, and to be a part of it.

Today we also began teaching jacob, a cafe customer, how to type. Software on the cafe computers makes it fun and easy....so funny watching some people who can't type try to hunt and peck and find the 'o' looking quizzically at the keyboard, tapping slowly. I think this is gonna be very popular, I have high hopes for this and other class ideas that are percolating for the fall.
