RIP Vicky – 1989 to 2007

“The Inheritance” (the car I got from my grandfather) is no more. I drove “Vicky” (a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria) to work today; it caught on fire when I got out of it.

I am sorry I didn’t have the presence of mind to take a picture while the car was on fire (that would have been cool) but I was too busy trying not to freak out.

Here she is being towed away:

Subject: FACE DANCE PREMIERE

Hi Everyone,

AT LAST! Face Dance is almost finished and promises to be hilarious!

Mark your calendars….it will debut at the Maine International Film Festival in July….Waterville, Maine. Go online soon to get the exact day and time…

Bring your friends and family and watch yourself FACE DANCE!

From the producer who didn’t bring you River Dance. And, from the Director who hates Dancing with the Stars, comes FACE DANCE, A FEATURE-LENGTH docu-comedy about the rediscovery of an ancient underground facial phenomenon that’s been banned in Kansas, North Dakota and at Republican mixers. Think breakdancing, but with your face!

Doc Miller, our skeptical protagonist, tracks down several devoted Face Dance practitioners. Will he realize his dream to make Face Dancing wildly popular and liberate hope and happiness for all?!

Thanks to one and all—-

See you soon,

Topper and Corny

Five reasons the best writers come from Northern Maine

1. The winters are long and cold; there is nothing else to do but write.
2. We have plenty of pulp wood, so we won’t run out of paper!
3. Strange things always seem to happen in Maine…
4. In Northern Maine, they think you are weird if you aren’t a hermit.
5. The money saved on dental fees can go right to essential writing tools: beer, printer ink, and Ho Hos.
