Kind of going far back on ‘THE BOOK’ as it’s called around here (Midnight in the Garden for everyone else).

I remember watching the news reports about the murder case. The whole thing was just a big mess.

It’s actually a good book all the same.

Yes, it’s an older book.

Very good book, strange case.

My book club recommended it as it had been one of their book of the month choices. I also know it was a movie.

I like True Crime books. THIS book was, eh, different.

I was stationed at Ft. Stewart in the early '90s, and really liked Savannah. Had a lot of good times there, especially at my favorite hangout, the "Bayou Cafe". Great food, and even better music.

I met my wife in '01, and we took a trip to Savannah where she bought "The Book". She fell in love with the city too, so now we go several times each year. Actually, we are due for another visit. We have partied several times with Jerry Spence from "The Book", and my wife insisted that we go and meet Chablis once. (I wasn't impressed- very pretentious and stuck on itself.)

We have toured Mercer House, and spent many hours walking through Boneventure Cemetery. Even shared martinis at Conrad Aiken's grave a few times.

Yep, I just talked myself into it. Time to put in for some time off, Vinnie Van Go-Goes is calling my name!
