Finally, we enjoy (and benefit from) communicating with readers and listeners via Facebook and other social media outlets, but every now and then they tweak an algorithm or change the rules behind the scenes and we are reminded there is no better way to stay in touch than by good old fashioned mailing list, so if you haven’t signed up, please consider it. Info (including what we will and won’t do with your info) right here.

REPOSTED FROM 2020: Had a snowed-in Easter with our little family of four. Kinda redundant, to be snowed in during a quarantine. Anyways, we had a good day, a good evening, now the fire’s banked, and having just tromped out through the white stuff and back to lock down the chicken coop, I’m gonna call it a night. I hadn’t recorded anything yet, so I’m going to re-post the recording of the time I opened up Roughneck Grace and read the “Gratitude” essay on Michael Feldman’s Whad’Ya Know? show. I was unprepared for the reaction it received. I can’t know the state of your heart or situation, and I do not presume to preach, but I’m grateful for the good people out there, and the good they do. (This essay is the last piece in the book Roughneck Grace, available in most bookstores and along with all the others in the Sneezing Cow store.

The complete text is here.

Every week the Wisconsin State Journal runs “Roughneck Grace,” a weekly column written by Mike (many of the columns will be adapted from Mike’s Tent Show Radio monologues). This week’s column ‘Michael Perry: The strong may survive, but the antifragile may miss out on the sublime‘ can be seen online here.

Howdy Folks:

A while back Mike was a guest on The Professional Noticer with Andy Andrews. Andy and I are twins who have actually never met.

You can watch the entire episode here.

We discussed many things including Montaigne in Barn Boots, which you can purchase here.
