p>With parents that live in Cody, and not many opportunities to
visit, Bill Croke's description of the alleys and lifestyle of the
fair folk of Cody in "Down the Alleys" brought me back there for a
brief few minutes. My Dad is a big gardener and every call I get or
make to the folks comes with a description of the latest addition
to the garden, of how the tomato or sweet corn crop is doing, or of
the damage from a "damn" late frost. With daily reports about
terrorism, war, and cynical election coverage, this small respite
about small-town America is just what my weary soul needed. Hat tip
to Bill Croke and
The American Spectator

Thank you, Mr. Croke, for "Down the Alleys." Thank you for the
sweetest minutes of my time in the office today -- those minutes I
spent transported to Cody, Wyoming's alleys and the life in those
places. My 8th-grade English teacher, Miss Frisch, would give you
an A for your descriptive writing. And thanks for passing along the
author's suggestion to surround ourselves with the simple things we
love. I just turned 40 and have really been focused lately, but
it's been hard to describe what I am focusing on. Thanks to you I
can now succinctly describe it as surrounding myself with the
simple things I love. Speaking of which, I can't wait to get home
to my wife and my two sons and my gold Lab with a copy of "Down the
Alleys." Thanks again for touching my life today!
