I walked to the local library near my new 3-week Las Vegas home in search of the nine stories from the 'approved' list missing in my Collected Works ebook. The only Frank O'Connor book in the entire system was the 1981 Knopf Collected Stories which they kindly ordered for me from another branch. They also gave me an out-of-state library card (50 books can be checked out at a time!), treated me to a classical piano recital in a packed SRO large music chamber, and let me sign up for yoga classes. All free. Oh yes, and then there were the two museum-sized art rooms filled with gorgeous paintings of local artists.
So this quest led me to a delightful morning already made joyful enough by warmth, sunshine, palm trees, and kind people.
