Thankfully, my life-long friends still love me enough to help. When the one I always wished could be more than a friend shows up on my doorstep, however, all my good intentions go right out the window. Before I know it, I’ve convinced him that an out-of-town, friends-with-benefits deal will be the perfect way to get over each other.

Download or read book Jukebox Jive written by Wynn Wheldon and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here's a words-and-pictures memory trip into the era of bobby sox, the glowing, multicolored Wurlitzer jukebox, the jitterbug, and the lindy hop. A typical quip comes from playwright Thornton Wilder, who says: "My advice to you is not to inquire why or whether, but just to enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate-" Juke Box Jive is one of a two-book series titled Retro Moments. These titles recall the days when Mom and Dad were teens.

Retro Moments make great gift books, but bookstore gift-buyers probably will take home extra copies for themselves. These delightful little books carry their readers back to the days of drive-ins, roadside diners, fin-tailed convertibles, and the bright magazine advertisements of yesteryear.
