Your faithful blogger is taking some time off for R&R, plus my annual search for the best crabcake on the Delmarva Peninsula (above).
I’ll be back on Sept. 13 to pick up where I left off. I’ll also be micro-blogging on Twitter while I’m away. You can follow my Twitter feed on this page or on Twitter at @Joesview.
I’ve already seen some interesting stuff this week that I want to report on when I get back, including the terrific Broadway musical “American Idiot” and an amazing DVD collection of the best (worst?) drive-in movies put out by the long-defunct Crown International Pictures in the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s (remember “The Pom Pom Girls”?). Crown made the other bargain-basement drive-in movie manufacturer of that period — American International — look like Warner Bros.
In my beach book bag for reading and reviewing is a new oversized volume about the legendary Manhattan bar-nightclub, Max’s Kansas City. Also, a photo-biography of jazz great Sonny Rollins, and “Winged Obsession,” the much-anticipated, book-length non-fiction debut of Easton mystery novelist Jessica Speart.
Have a great Labor Day weekend and try to savor these last few days of summer!
