Between Boots and Brains
Great to see Max Garland’s fine work recognized–his poems are bridges built between boots and brains.
Yah-Hey
Just wrapped up phone conversation with West Coast radio producer by uttering an involuntary “You betcha.” Nah, don’t think I reinforced any stereotypes.
Wisconsin Spring
To all you people who kinda rode me about still having my snowplow on, please let me know if you’d like your crow baked or deep-fried.
Audio Excerpt From Next Book
I just read part of my next book (It’s called Visiting Tom, and it’s due out in August) for Wisconsin Life, and you can have a listen by clicking here.
The piece is about the power of kitchens…but it’s not about food or cooking.
The music at the end is by my band the Long Beds (it’s a song from Tiny Pilot), in particular the red hot fiddle is by Molly Otis.
Raw Foods Movement, Wisconsin Style
Substituting squeaky cheese curd for deep-fried cheese curd.
Wisconsin is Everywhere
One of the nice things about being from Wisconsin is that no matter where you are — oh, let’s say on book tour and out for an early morning walk along the streets of Boulder, Colorado — you can stand on the nearest sidewalk grate or manhole cover, look past your toes, and — if you see the “Neenah” imprint — know you’re walking on a solid product of the Badger State. It ain’t all about cheese.
