Thank you for all the kind words. It was a great trip, and thank you for suggesting it! I'll be buying a kayak this fall. And I need to read Nobody's Fool. I've only read Empire Falls by Russo, because my cousin Lou Taylor had a role in the miniseries. I liked it, but I know Fool Is his best book. There are 2 sequels now, have hot read them? I think you're right, that we should be both kinda of people... It's good to be observant but it can lead to a tightly knit life unless you have a little Sully in you. But you don't want to go fully that way. I think the Sullys of the world are more observant than we think, or self reflective, in the small hours they usually spend alone. But maybe I should read the book before pontificating.
Oh I completely agree, the Sully’s of the world are indeed way more wise than they’re often given credit for. That’s why they love & need & care for their Mrs. Beryls, and their Mrs. Beryls love & need & care for them right back.
I had no idea there were sequels! Must read immediately. I started watching the movie last night & maybe it’s just because I can practically quote the book, but it’s fantastic.
Paul Newman was a mensch, as many say. ce gave my xousin LT a ride to the shooting location in his private jet (which Newman flew, at age 79 or 80) and Lou said, with delight, that the seatbacks had packages of Newman's Own cookies. I have avoided watching Nobody's Fool because I want to read the book first. So, I guess I'll read it soon.
