Head Down


I've got my head down for a few weeks now, finishing up the long-promised, long-delayed book on the biggest bestsellers of all time and what they have in common.
An irreverant, and possibly irrelevant, look at popular culture and the short happy history of the novel.

Illegal Hair



Paul Levine, aka the best head of hair in America has just released a new hardback novel that I highly recommend.

Paul is funny. Smart and funny. Smart and funny and a damn good writer.

Rickshaw

A weekend in Key West. Mainly we walked, but we couldn't resist taking the rickshaw at the end of a long day.




Then there was our time in butterfly world. Hadn't been there before. Been going to Key West for over forty years, and this is the first time I've bonded with an insect. If I look a little tired, it's because I was.

Barbara Parker RIP



Here she is with Chris Kling and Les Standiford. Barbara was part of a class of FIU students that inluded Chris, Dennis Lehane, Vicki Hendricks and others. Barbara was right up there at the top of the class. Always merry and bright.



She was a wonderful lady and a fine writer. Always a pleasure to be around. You can read her obit here.
