We all love the new boardwalk. Me, I’m old, I remember the old concrete boardwalk, and the one before that. Here’s an excerpt from my book about goin to the boardwalk back in my long ago. “Got myself a fist fulla change, my collar up, my ducktail combed perfect, skinny suede belt on the side, dungaree cuffs rolled up into a tight peg, ID bracelet round my wrist, crucifix round my neck, and hawkbill knife in my back pocket. Just finished hammerin 4 Coca-cola caps into the leather bottoms of my size-5 loafers. I’m headin to to the boardwalk. Gonna take a shot at scorin me on a those skull rings or maybe a carved coconut head. Then I’m gonna nosh a corndog and punch in Honky Tonk on the Wurlitzer and ask a girl to dance”
