My buddy John English and I have had a wonderful time visiting good friend Gary Kelley, his wife Linda, daughter Cydney, and her friend Paula Sevenbergen in Iowa. Attended Gary’s exhibition and hung out with Greg Manchess, Randy Sweitzer, and other artists.

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!
