Lights! Cameras! Um, go ahead and type.
This was the type of high drama that happened EVERY day when I was writing in a bookstore window!
Now that I'm not in a bookstore window, life's just drab and gray. I've got to find an excuse to get back in there...

New Banner Link
You may feel a crackling new energy here at Unexpectedly Bart. After all, we've been asked to join the mighty Oregonian News Network. What does that mean for you?
Why, nothing. Nothing at all!

"Where can I find your books?"
I'm often asked where my books are shelved in a bookstore. And I've discovered my stuff in self-help (!), non-fiction, history, and DIY.
Generally, they're either in the "kids" or "humor" sections. If you want to find the latter, someone once said, "To find the humor section in a bookstore, go in the front door. Now go to the deepest, darkest, most remote section of the store. That's where the humor will be."
My experience: It's true!

The one and only time I'll ever be called "'Cute' guy"
So yesterday, I met the members of the excellent band Sarsparilla on AM Northwest. I stuck around to listen to two of their songs, and after the show, I waved goodbye.
"Hey 'Cute' guy! Later on!" a couple of band members called.
So THAT'S what Hades is like.
The Underworld
Hot in the summer, cold in the winter. When it rains, the river Styx runs through it, and the paperbacks are not in alphabetical order.
Welcome to Hades
