....Kaitlyn LOVED this book. She would often squeal out loud with delight as she read. I can’t describe the sound of a child loving a book….what a great sound. This was not surround screen or a first screening or a new TV show. THIS WAS A BOOK! Rush Revere and the Brave Pilgrims is a story of a substitute teacher who, with the help of a talking and time-travelling horse, went back in time to witness various aspects of the voyage of the pilgrims to America. Though aimed for young adolescents, the book is quite educated and the tone does not “talk down” to its young audience. The story tells of the ill-fated “SpeedWell” that preceded the Mayflower in its infamous crossing. As the characters travel through time they get to meet the pilgrims and watch life in the 1600′s as it bitterly unfolded.

Above is a clip from Pats review of Rush's fine book. Well done Pat!

So this guy calls me up, some guy who got up and talked at the Sussex county meetings, a passing face. He contacts me by email via my column than asks if he can call me.

Seems he has , really, the neighbor from hell. Neighbor lives on 4.1 acres, zoned agricultural/residential....little of both. Can have 8 hogs is all, two cows....got rules for it all in the Sussex county code.

Neighbor had, get this, 27 pigs, dug a big lake in his yard that attracted ducks, than duck hunters. And, get this, neighbor SLAUGHTERED all those pigs IN HIS YARD!

Anyway, guy is despondent, he’s trying to tell the Sussex county council his story and he sure can’t write, trust me on this.

So he begs me to compile his sorry tale and you know what? I did. He sent me a notepad file with a bunch of research he did, pretty thorough, it was small matter for me to put it all in a letter.

We talk, he mentions his Ex-wife and how she left him with a Pomeranian.

When I finally email him a decent letter detailing his story, which was guys....really, hilarious. This is the stuff of fiction BUT IT’S TRUE!

So he loves my letter, makes copies of it all over the place, then....heh. Guess what?

He will buy me lunch at a Georgetown restaurant of my choice. This AFTER he shows me his little farmette thing or whatever he lives in....get a gander at that nutjob neighbor of his.

I mean....to the men! It’s tough being a sex object but somebody’s got to do it.

Anyway....we’ll see. I go to the Tuesday Sussex county council meetings cause I know where to park, can stop at GOP headquarters, got some Facebook friends and always visit beloved Billy’s grave, which is in Georgetown.

I figured, hey I’m opting for lunch on the Circle....a little tavern type restaurant, really historic, on the Georgetown circle....kind of a tourist thing. But I have never been there and the only other choice is the Georgetown restaurant, an all right place but come on, they serve “dumplings” that are like noodles of some kind....Sussex county dumplings they call them, slimy things.

We shall see, yon reader shall smile.
