Walking Guen, Some More by Gary Williams

Walking Guen, Some More by Gary Williams

In this third book, Gary and his dog, Guen, return to the historic streets of St. Augustine, Florida, to discuss such wide-ranging topics as Edgar Allan Poe, disco, black holes, dinosaur ghosts, the fourth Earl of Sandwich, Village People, and more. This continuing series is sure to leave you smiling, or shaking your head, or both.

While walking Guen through the historic streets of St. Augustine this morning, we were on Carrera Street when I said, Congratulations are in order, Guen. When they weighed you at the vet's office yesterday, you were seven pounds lighter than last year. That's a good chunk of extra padding.

It wasn't extra 'padding.' I like to think of it as shedding my 'winter buffer.'

Were you expecting a blizzard in St. Augustine last year?
