Old Type Writer: Goodbye, Goodbye, Mr. Massey

My latest "Old Type Writer" column "Goodbye, Goodbye, Mr. Massey" covers a host of topics: golfing, celebrities, author William Faulkner, actor Daniel Day-Lewis, Xanadu, musical star Laura Benanti, She Loves Me, Blue Bell-manufactured Wrangler Jeans, our current political climate, father/son actors Raymond and Daniel Massey, comedian Red Buttons, Abe Lincoln, and most significantly the importance of consciousness. Enjoy!



(And, as always, the words highlighted in blue in the text offer an extra audiovisual treat!) Thanks, again, to editor Jennifer Romano and Talk of the Town for the longstanding support of my writings.

Also, I contributed an essay to Dearborn's Henry Ford Centennial Library's latest collection! The book, Dreaming Dreams No Mortal Ever Dared to Dream Before, is now available to order on Amazon. In this collection of Poe-inspired stories and poems, you will find dreams (and nightmares), ghost stories, horror, madness, mystery, imagination, and even some humor. It is about 450 pages long and has works from over 150 authors. More info, including link to order, here …
