Sheltering in Place

[Drunk Monk]

We totally overlapped. I worked there for under a year starting in 86, ending in 87.

And don’t feel like a bad son. I had to look my years up. Not sure what that says about me (and I don’t care to know, Greg).

I was full time in the media center. It was a great place to work. Very quiet. Lots to read on breaks. In a foreshadowing way, I spent most of my breaks reading periodicals. The other workers were all literate and polite. We had a great crew in the media center - there were like a half dozen of us but we seldom interacted much with the rest of the library staff. There weren’t a lot of guys. I can only remember two others. I’ve lost track of everyone there.

Wow. I just looked up the one name I remembered - Bob Balmano. We used to hang out a bit. Funny guy. He loved above a shop in downtown svale in this cool converted space. He was an aspiring writer and we’d talk books (I used to read for fun) and he’d painstakingly describe his day of writing because he dreamed of penning the next great American novel. 

Looks like he got tow on Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Robert-Balmanno/e...scns_share 

Good for him. 

Thanks for jogging an old sweet memory, tg
