The Boonetown Chronicles
Humor / Memoir / Essays
Date Published: August 18, 2021
Boonetown is a small southern town with more limousines than taxis, more buggies than bicycles and more church signs than street signs. You'll meet the ladies who lunch and the men who drink morning coffee; the museum curator who keeps the dinosaur egg in the bank vault and the woman who runs the local tv station out of her garage. Through each story, you'll get to know the author, too, as he takes us on this journey through his hometown.
Introduction
I like observing people. I just find people interesting,
especially people who take a few detours
along the way. I watch...and wonder.
Once, while I was out eating brunch, I saw a man riding his
unicycle down the street, while carrying a bicycle on his shoulder. I wondered.
I wondered too, at my podiatrist’s office, if the seventy-five-year-old
woman sitting next to me wore her Britney Spears t-shirt and carried her
Britney Spears handbag everywhere, or just when she went to the doctor? Nothing
wrong with that, I just wanted to understand her thought process.
And I used to wonder why I kept a file of random stuff:
articles, and ads, and photos, and notes… things I found interesting. But now I
know: to use to tell these stories.
These stories are about a place I call Boonetown and some of
the folks who live there. They are stories about people who have made me smile,
shaped me, and intrigued me. This is the way I remember the people and events,
although some might remember them differently. But you don’t have to be from Boonetown
to recognize the people in these pages.
Because, as it turns out, The Boonetown Chronicles isn’t
just about me and my hometown, it’s about everyone’s. So here goes.
I hope you enjoy your stay.
