Oris George - The Man at the Side of the Road

Oris George Presents -

The Man at the Side of the Road

Chinon Publishing

The older I get the more I want to remember those times I experienced in my youth. The memories come and go, mostly go these days, but still I remember the hot summer sun beating down and the peacefulness of a summer afternoon, winding through the mountains on my mule while I listened to the birds sing and the grass growing...

You may think you can't really hear the grass grow, but I promise you, there were times when we heard it grow.

Those are the times of which Oris George writes.

Days of drifting clouds, boys minding their mothers, although some didn't. Weeks of doing chores that never ended, and switches on their britches if they didn't do what they were told. Years of watching and wondering, listening at the grate in the floor. Thinking that time should probably stand still, but it didn't.

Those are the times you'll find in his book "The Man at the Side of the Road" and in his short stories, whichever ones you'll read.

n	You'll remember the comfortable feeling you had when you heard your father come home from work.
n	You'll remember the joy you felt when the chores were done and the rest of the day was yours to enjoy, at least until evening chore time came.
n	You'll remember the energy that came with a hearty breakfast of fried eggs, bacon, biscuits and gravy after you came in from doing chores in the snow.
n	You'll remember walking along a dirt road kicking stones and grumbling that you're the only kid who has to do chores, although you knew it wasn't true.
n	You'll remember lazy summer afternoons of sipping lemonade on the back porch while the locusts sang.
n	You'll remember suspenders, bloomers, nickel ice cream and homemade cookies that came with cheek pinchers and relatives on Sunday afternoon.
n	You'll remember the sound of wagon wheels, mule hooves and the jingle of the trace chains.
n	You'll remember train whistles in the distance and car horns that said words you'd understand like "ah-uuga".
n	You'll remember days gone past and back roads that led to somewhere you wanted to go...

The boy and his dog, didn't stay on the mountain. The mule didn't jingle his trace chains into forever, and the boy... grew up to write stories about boys, mules, donkeys and times like these.
