The last three weeks have been filled with the stress and tedium of moving: bubble-wrapping wedding china, cleaning neglected areas of the house, driving to and from Goodwill with new loads of old stuff, garage sale, brutal cardboard cuts, meals standing around the kitchen island, exhausted, sore sleeps, and so it goes. There's a sort of haze that surrounds a move, isn't there? It becomes isolated almost completely from other aspects of your life until you forget that, once, you wore high heels, talked to clients, BLOGGED. In any case, the worst of it is over. Though our new home is mostly empty and its garage is filled to frightening capacity with boxes, we're in and we have Internet. And where there's Internet, there's life to be lived.
Enough about that. I'm happy to inform you all that there's been another development in the Laredo bookstore saga. A couple of days ago, I received an e-mail from Eddie Cardenas, a fellow Laredoan who has been working toward opening a used bookstore. And he's worked quickly! The store, which will be called Escape Again, is slated to open this week!
And fortunately, thanks to a homeward bound trip for Easter, I'll be able to check it out and meet Eddie in person. Additionally, Eddie has agreed to let me interview him for the blog, so be looking forward to a Q&A with him--tomorrow, I hope. Escape Again is located on 608 W Calton Road, Laredo, TX 78045. Call (956) 568-1609 if you'd like to know how to support Eddie's efforts.
More coming soon. In the meantime, tell me what's new with you! What books are you reading? Have you visited any indie bookstores lately? For those of you in Laredo, are you excited to visit Escape Again when it opens?
