From New York's foremost bail bondsman with "over $30 million on the street" comes the story of a modern-day "fixer" who walks a fine line between hustler and humanitarian with clients ranging from the rich and famous to the mafia and gangs of New York. With from-the-gut prose, Ira Judelson sheds light on the highs and lows of the bondsman life. But Judelson is no process server.

Cool stories

Much of the audible story was super interesting. Little slow at the end. I enjoyed listening to the end, however. Highly recommended.

Almost every couple faces a "now what?" moment as their last kid moves out of the house. There's a big empty nest looming over this new and uncertain stage in their lives. David and Veronica James chose to look at this next phase of life as a beginning instead of an ending. Rather than staying put and facing the constant reminders of empty bedrooms and backseats, a plan began to develop to sell the nest and hit the highway.

Life before Going Gypsy...
Revisado: 05-22-21
We just bought a used camper and tow vehicle. My wife will retire next month. Our youngest graduated from college last weekend. We are almost “empty nesters” with a gypsy passion for travel. I like hearing stories from travelers and this book sounded like an awesome way to get excited about “life on the road *after kids.*” This might be like Travels with Charlie, but reflecting a retired couple in the 21st century rather than an incredible author and his dog in post world war 50s and 60s thinking. I do enjoy Steinbeck’s work a lot.
This is a nice book about empty nesters telling stories about life before becoming empty nesters. From the book description, “Going Gypsy is the story of a life after raising kids that is a celebration of new experiences.” I got to chapter 29 of 32. The actual description should be, “Going Gypsy is the story of a life raising kids that is a celebration of family experiences.” They gloss over “journey of over 10,000 miles along the back roads of America.” When the dude started chapter 29 with, “Now what? We visited all the friends and family,” I seriously thought I must have missed it. I remember them taking about the world’s record ball of paint at one point, the crazy regional food they ate, and how they enjoyed non-traditional Thanksgiving with universally entwined step, ex, and removed relatives, but all the charming stories about getting a daughter to eat a carrot got in the way of those “new adventures.” Where did they go? I can’t say I know entirely.
I smiled often as they shared stories about life with children so many of us relate to… just hoped to hear about their new adventures from the big window in the front of the RV rather than so many rear view mirror stories about their families. I wanted more Charles Kuralt “life on the road” from an empty nester perspective … and instead enjoyed hearing mostly about family life. This is a book of fun stories, but not enough of the kind of travel stories you might anticipate given the title and description.
