To get healthy, an old man starts to dance. Suddenly his neighbors hate his guts.
(Note: "Last Dance in Hoboken" is short story. It is also available in the author's 10-story collection, Daggyland #2.)
* * *
Vinnie is an old fart from Hoboken, New Jersey.
A city of mozzarella, cheesesteak sandwiches, and freshly sliced gabagool.
A city of kneecappers, knuckleheads, meat-cutters, and dockworkers.
When a bad ticker nearly kills Vinnie dead, he wises up. He resolves to get healthy, once and for all.
He does what any gentlemen of a certain age would do to reverse the long, undignified slide to Fat City.
He starts to dance.
Now everyone on this side of the Hudson River hates his guts.
