Recently, I was asked to write an essay for Father’s Day. The request came as we were preparing to travel to Colorado for a funeral. I wrote most of it during the plane ride home. It has now been posted and you can read it here.

I’m told the August issue of Outside magazine is now available. I have a fish story in there. About real big fish. Here’s a photo taken on the last day of the story. I caught the fish under the guidance of my neighbor Chuck.

Clearly not a good blog post title.
But I had an article about cadavers in the last issue of Men’s Health. You can read it here.
And in this month’s issue (available on newsstands now) I drew on some of the material from my previous books plus some new bits to write this essay about my Mom.
Now this fellow has riffed on both essays to create an entertaining blog post of his own (full disclosure, he says nice things about me, and me him, and although we both mean it, this is what is known in the business as logrolling, and if one overdoes it, one comes off as being all wet) (I know from logrolling, because Fred Scheer is a friend of mine).
