Becoming an Author of Sasquatch

I know I don't post hardly anything anymore on this blog.  After all, Pamela and I aren't cruising on Drift Away anymore.  The boat was sold to the Roziers and is now named "Happy Ours", and they too have dumped a load of money into it.  I only hope they enjoy it as much as we did.

I started a new blog called "Bleecker Mountain Life" about us building an off grid homestead in the mountains of upstate New York.  Little did I know that this blog would be peppered with stories of Sasquatch.  That blog led to a book titled "Living Among Sasquatch: A Primer".  I just followed that with a novel "Living Among Little People: A Guide For Sasquatch".

Living Among Sasquatch is listed as a best seller on Amazon's newsletter.  It is rated 4.5 out of 5 stars, something I am very proud of.   I hope the novel does half as well.  But in any event, I owe my becoming an author to you all, who supported and encouraged me, despite countless victory beers.  You showed me that, disregarding my English teacher in 10th grade, that I could write and provide entertainment to others.  For that, I will be eternally grateful.   And to Pamela, for not always laughing at me, and to to our Sasquatch who didn't kill me.

Time for a victory beer.  Right after I get back from the Appleton Art Museum, where I am entering this photograph in a juried art show.   Thank you also for liking my photography.  

This hardly sucks at all.
