Duane is great. He works hard, and can do all kinds of jobs on houses and cars. He drives an old truck with sticker on it that says "All Boobs Matter."

Monica Friedman is a writer and artist and cartoonist living in Tucson Arizona, and she is a delightful conversationalist. She knows how to show a gal a good time, and she took me to the Sonoran Desert Museum. We chatted in the car on the way there.

It's always great to talk to Darling Christopher, about anything.

Christopher and I have survived Christmas, even without a furnace. In this 16 minute podcast we discuss the nature of the holidays, and The Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith and Tandem, by Andy Mozina.

What a pleasure to speak with Brian Powers. He came to my River Shack Writing Studio to photograph me for a magazine article and afterward I interviewed him.
