The Clodhopper Monologues are now available in digital format (as well as good ol’ CD). Can be purchased and downloaded directly from Sneezing Cow main page (select “digital download” format in right-hand column dropdown menu) or from iTunes, CDBaby, and Amazon.

Double CD terrestrial version also available from many independent bookstores. If they don’t have it and would like to carry it, have’em drop us a line.

Fine afternoon at a family get-together yesterday. When you’re eating off a paper plate while sitting on a lawn chair within ten feet of bolt buckets and a vise, well then that’s good living. Weather so fine we had the shop door wide open (Uncle Mike pulled the International pickup around to the side so we had room for the food table). I enjoy the company of people along a wide spectrum of endeavor and perspective, but I am never more comfortable than when I am eating in a place where if you spill your macaroni you just grab the shop broom and sweep it out the door – if the hounds don’t get it first.

Favorite moment: my eldest daughter gathering chestnuts and cracking them in a ratcheting arbor press after guidance from her Uncle John. (Some would like me to add that it’s not a good idea to eat raw chestnuts.)

Will be on the radio tomorrow (details here) talking about The Clodhopper Monologues.

I continue to work on the next book, but between writing sessions, we’ve been working to finish another project we hope to release in a matter of weeks. We even dropped a couple of hints here and here.

No more hints, here’s the deal: Over the past couple of years I’ve been working up a thing I call “The Clodhopper Monologues.” It’s just me, a microphone, a friendly crowd, and a bunch of stories: some drawn from the books, others simply added along the way, and a couple made up on the spot. Last spring we recorded one of these shows and we’ll be releasing it in a double-CD and digital format very soon. We’ll post additional details as well as pre-ordering information (all pre-orders will be entered into a drawing for door prizes, just like at the fire department banquet) soon. If you’re on our mailing list, you’ll receive all the details in advance – if you’re not on our mailing list, we respectfully request that you join up here.

In this sample cut, I’m talking about how I learned to read…kinda:
