Journal Entry 1 by wingGoryDetailswing from Nashua, New Hampshire USA on Monday, December 15, 2003
I found this 1966 hardcover bookclub edition at the swap shed of Nashua's Four Hills recycle center/landfill, and what with the snow and ice and all, thought it might make a suitably nostalgic (or perhaps just whiny!) release. [I read Knowles' "A Separate Peace" in high school - like almost everybody else my age, I suspect - but I'm afraid I didn't appreciate it much at the time; it seems terribly wasteful to me that so many books are forced on kids who aren't emotionally mature enough to understand them. This book, from the cover blurb, is about a young man who comes home after WWII and has to confront a wealthy and powerful family that tries to run the town - and him. Glancing through the book, I wasn't especially impressed, but perhaps someone else will enjoy it...]

Journal Entry 2 by wingGoryDetailswing at Digital Credit Union, 257 Lowell Rd. in Hudson, New Hampshire USA on Monday, December 15, 2003
Released on Monday, December 15, 2003 at Digital Credit Union, 257 Lowell Rd. in Hudson, New Hampshire USA.

I plan to release this somewhere inside the credit union - ideally in the entranceway - at around 1:30, assuming I can get the snow and ice scraped off of my car in time! I figured a little "Indian Summer" weather would feel nice right about now... ;-)
