Rediscovering McDonald’s. 90 miles out

by Jon Katz

Don’t get to McDonald’s much. it has changed and if you are driving through
Northern Ohio, you will eat there. Lots of junk, some good stuff, the originator of bad and dead jobs for kids trying to appear friendly. Am pretty close to Columbus, should make it on time. This stop is important to me, for reasons not entirely clear. After the Thurber House turned us down because of Izzy, I just thought I should come. Using the blog and
Facebook, I felt a bit like Gen. Patton plowing through Europe.
Lots of people traveling with me, suggesting hotels, restaurants, things to do.
No time for that on a book tour, and if there was time, it would mean the book was a dud. The good news -and the bad- is that I will be busy every second. I don’t want Maria to get worn either, as book tours can do. She is doing most of the driving. I love book tours, although they are challenging. They mean you are alive as a writer. Beautiful day in Ohio. Can’t wait to get to work.
