My literary wingman Sheldon Gleisser and I went to the Author Alley in downtown Circleville yesterday. This was his first book event and my first since the Covid lockdown and my diagnosis of colorectal cancer. Previously held in the alley beside Keystone Books, it was much smaller after the bookstore had been replaced by a women’s clothing boutique. Still, we met some nice people and other authors, sold some books, and slowly melted in the September heat. We will continue from here.
In another milestone, for the first time since my colostomy surgery, I dared to empty my colostomy bag in a public restroom. You will be spared details, but it is heartening to report that the Mexican restaurant in downtown Circleville maintains a very clean men’s room.
