These days, I do a lot of ruminating and cogitating in public, writing short pieces and volunteering to read my little monologues (rants is such a harsh word) on the local public radio program “The Brown County Hour”.\nAlso, I am in the process of writing several novels that I’ve always been meaning to write, and surely one of those will be the next Great American Novel, but in the meantime, I write different things. It’s my hobby.\nNow, in my retirement years, one of my hobbies is to collect up these writings into little books. What a time to be alive!\nI sincerely hope that something in here will make you smile, make you think, maybe make you care.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0C6W4FGDB\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0C6W4FGDB.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tryon, Jeff\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43366706348093,"sku":"BVV.B0C6W4FGDB.VG","price":16.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/B0C6W4FGDB-0.jpg?v=1784418688","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/the-two-dollar-egg-and-other-cogitations-and-ruminations","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
