First off, let me apologize for the lack of blog posts recently. I?ve been trying to figure out how to work this new website. Plus the holidays, family stuff, etc. You get the drift.
Anyway, I got this book for Christmas called The Fortress of Solitude by Jonathan Lethem. I can?t give you a full review yet, but so far so good. It?s the story of a boy growing up in downtown Brooklyn in the 1970?s. There are some great descriptions of neighborhood stoopball games including this one where Dylan (the boy) gets his first hit.
Stickball in Havana by Walter Iooss.
Now how backward is Cuba compaired to the free world? If you ask me their Not at all we are ! The good old days 25 cents and a old broom handle kids played for hours Kids = 1 through ? as many as we could round up to play . Didn't matter how many per side cause we played for the love of sports!
