A cup of Joe with Joe

On the way home the other day I stopped off at Starbucks for a cup of coffee and who was there but my friend Joe Lordi, the now-retired director of the Bayard Taylor Library. We had a nice chat, and he said that his latest book, a photographic history of the small town of Las Vegas, New Mexico, is selling so well that he's considering embarking on a second printing.
He also told me a charming story about how he helped a friend of ours choose a diamond ring for his intended, and then helped him stage-manage the romantic -- and successful -- proposal at Longwood Gardens.
