Humorous, slightly wacky, slightly out-of-focus essays by slightly wacky, slightly out-of-focus Emmy-winning writer. Sunday, May 27, 2007. Nowhere in any biology class, no matter how advanced, no matter how graphic and lurid, did the instructor discuss how books reproduce. In fact, I didn’t even realize that they did reproduce until I recently had to pack them all for our move to Oregon. Good grief! Where did they all come from? Did I really purchase all of them?

Humorous, slightly wacky, slightly out-of-focus essays by slightly wacky, slightly out-of-focus Emmy-winning writer. Friday, May 11, 2007.
