If you have not read any of Woody’s books, you might be surprised. He’s very smart and very literate, especially so within this latest effort. Yes, you have to pay attention and he uses big words. But don’t panic! He uses them for good. Actually, he uses them for humor, which is pretty much the same [...]
The book is “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: The Dirty Life And Times Of Warren Zevon”. Written by his wife Crystal with quotes and insight from a wide variety of friends, family, colleagues, and more. For those who already know that Warren was a master songwriter and artist, this book provides insight into his tormented [...]
We took a vacation up north in the Portland, Orgeon area. You shoulda been there. Maybe you were. Whatever, we had a great time! Here’s the play-by-play.
Thursday June 25
And we hit the road running. Well, driving actually. Portland is a ten or eleven hour drive from our NorCal home base. On our way, we stopped [...]
The latest book I finished was “Velocity” by Dean Koontz. It’s a fast-paced suspense thriller and it was hard to put down. Good thing I’m so busy or I might have read it in one sitting! The tag line is “fear never slows down….”
It was the first book I had read by this author, though [...]
The book is Steve Martin’s “Born Standing Up“. I’ve always been a big fan of his, from way back in the days of the “wild and crazy guy”, happy feet, “let’s get small”, and the arrow through the head. Remember? Well, I guess that depends on how old you are. And of course since then [...]
The book is My Sister’s Keeper by Jodi Picoult and I recently finished it. It was a very enjoyable read. Thanks to my friend Robin who loaned it to me. A while back I read a different book by this same author, which I blogged about here. I liked that one so I was anxious [...]
The book is Clown Girl by Monica Drake. I saw Monica do a reading of a chapter a few years back at the Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle and was immediately taken by her clever and quirky prose. And after finally reading the whole book, I will say it was a very pleasant experience. This is a fast-paced, wild ride [...]

The last day of the Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival. Yikes! So let’s enjoy it!! After a quick monorail ride to the festival grounds, we strategized in the hospitality area. And we ate. Hey, you gotta eat or you’ll die, right? We started the [...]
Help! We’re up to our #$%!@ in Rolling Stone magazines! As you can see from the picture, even Prince can’t believe it!
Actually we have put an ad on Craigslist. We have over 600 issues for sale (as a lot, no single issues). And we’re throwing in 20 or so Spin magazines too. The catch? You gotta [...]
It’s Nineteen Minutes by best-selling author Jodi Picoult. Apparently this is her 14th novel, but it’s the first one I have read by her. It won’t be the last. This was a really interesting look at a tragic event (a school mass-shooting), but more importantly about how it affected the lives of the people involved, [...]
