This Was Supposed To Be Last Night’s Post

But I couldn’t get it to upload.

This is when I really got rolling on the writing, finally. Just under three hours of sleep then it was up to fix the chicken coop (the original one, the one on the cover of this book), move the barred rock chicks out of the stock tank and into the repaired coop, clean the stock tank and move in the 50 fluffy yellow meat chicks that arrived today, then move the new coop and chicken fence, then put up pig fence. Never would have finished without the help of my pal Mills, a friend going way back to the “Silver Star” days. We spent the last 30 minutes fencing in a deluge, but got’er done. Yessir. Got’er done.

Now some more writing. And a heart-shaped thought for my wife, who is running the whole show in spite of my ridiculous hours, obsessions, and avocations.

If You Missed COOP On The Radio

Thank you to Jim Fleming and Wisconsin Public Radio for the gracious reading of Coop.  It’s a humbling honor to hear that coming out of the radio.  And for two weeks I’ve been running into folks who’ve caught a listen.  One of those things a guy never expected…and as a lifelong cheesehead, even more meaningful.

They’re reading a chapter of Coop on Wisconsin Public Radio every day from now until February 12. If you missed a segment, the five most recent chapters are available here: http://wpr.org/webcasting/audioarchives_display.cfm?Code=cad&repeats=no (not sure for how long).

COOP on the Radio

Weekdays at 12:30 p.m. CST from now until February 12, Jim Fleming will be reading Coop: A Year of Poultry, Pigs and Parenting on Wisconsin Public Radio’s “Chapter A Day.”  Jim has a wonderful reading voice (I have learned he is a favorite of rural mail carriers) and you can listen to a live stream of the reading right here.

“COOP” on Video

I wasn’t going to post this for a while (the new book isn’t coming out for over a month yet) (although you can pre-order it here), but HarperCollins is going to add it to their site today, so here goes.  I got up early in the morning a while back, sat in a studio, and talked about the new book.  As you can see, I remain bald(ing), my ears continue to expand, and my eyebrow(s?) is healthy.  At some point I do open my eyes.
