The author of ‘The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit’, Sloan Wilson, lived in Florida on and off from when he was five years old. A number of his books takes place in our state including this one from 1967, ‘Janus Island’, which takes place of the Florida Keys. At one point Sloan was going to write a book about the history of Florida as he taught at Rollins College in Winter Park. As most learn, writing Florida’s history is a very involved and daunting project. That and some inner demons in Wilson may have prevented him from completing the project.

It’s Toys ‘R Us in Ocala at 7:30 pm Thanksgiving night. The parking lot full and people parking everywhere else. The building itself is set back almost a block back from the sidewalk full of people. Closer examination found that the line doesn’t come straight back to the street but winds many times before coming to the street and then taking up sidewalk space.
