Open this book and you are in Door County, Wisconsin, strolling down Coot Lake Road a one-lane, dead-end gravel track just a few miles from Baileys Harbor and the Lake Michigan shore. Along the way you meet George and Helen O Malley, who are growing old gracefully. Russell, their brave and empathetic golden retriever, wags hello and offers you a paw to shake.
Dave Crehore s sketches of life on the Door peninsula also expound on:
the delights of codfish pizza
how to insult Canadians
what to expect at your fiftieth high school reunion
how to lose a school board election
the prevention of creeping old-fogyism
Marilyn, a buxom eight-pound smallmouth bass
and what goes on in the winter, when no one is there.
