TOO MUCH STUFF
"Do you have any megaphones?" the lady asked as she was rounding the corner | Bruce and Buddy had only begun to unpack the merchandise they plan on selling in their booth and their 
first customer was on hand | As it happened, they did | The lady's two daughters were on crew this year, and one was appointed coxswain so she needed a megaphone | Turning around to open an elaborate enamelled trunk, Bruce pulled out two classic old cheerleader style megaphones marked "stephanie" and "janet" | The lady bought them both, a happy shopper indeed |
Anyway, this dream of starting up selling old stuff ["...that's antiques" sayeth the highbrow] again has been in Bruce's mind for quite some time now |
I'm glad to see it realized once more | I believe that Buddy's doing this with him made it realizable | 
And now, once begun, they both have a plausible excuse for the need to shop for more stuff |
They are doing this in the Essex - Saybrook Antiques Village a group shop in Old Saybrook, CT on Rte 154 (I think) just before [or after, depending] the row of car and truck dealers on the way to [or from] Exit 2 on CT Route 9 | My part in all of this? | Well, I played the grunt, mover, carpenter, behind the scenes repairer of strange merch | As Dubya says, "It was hard work" | ¶ 09:35
