Bookshelf - October 2025

While on a reconnaissance and professional visit to the Tampa-St. Petersburg area in Florida earlier this month - during which I was able to reconnect with some old friends, dip my toes in the warm, healing waters of the Gulf of Mexico, eat a grouper sandwich under the palm trees and stars and visit the last home Jack Kerouac ever lived in at 5169 10th Ave North - I was reminded yet again, as if I needed any reminding, that I am a tropical man at heart.
