About me:

Introducing:

LEISUREVILLE -- Adventures in America's Retirement Utopias. (Atlantic Press)

Available in bookstores across the country, and online as well.

"Reading Blechman’s book is intriguing, appalling, but always engaging. He thoroughly and with good humor delves into the largely American, and growing, phenomenon of gated, age-segregated communities ... including their history, governance, and societal implications. His description of The Villages reads like a science fiction novel. Highly recommended....” — Library Journal (Starred Review)

This is a picture of my Huisache tree , (Ornamental Mesquite, or perfume tree, as I call it), that has begun to bloom early this year.
I feel like Spring has Sprung in the dead middle of winter here, Flowers and trees are sprouting shoots and blooms , and I hear that it is happening in other places around the world as well. Although nature is singing beautiful songs and displaying a wonderfully warm, colorful show ... it is a little confused I think, and I ponder the reasons for the confusion of seasons.I hope you are enjoying your seasononal wonders too.Warm and happy wing flutters to you Andrew!
