Sara had me pose for this picture before my book reading at The Republic of Letters last night.

Peeps, did you hear about this? Yep, I’m going to be reading from that book I wrote last Spring at The Republic of Letters in Geneva. 🗣📖

When you might ask? That is a very good question. This coming Friday from 7-8:30pm. There’ll be snacks. There’ll be coffee. They’ll be chitchat. There might even be song and dance. But don’t get your hopes up about that last bit. 🕺

Yes, you can come. You can bring your friend. You can even bring that homeless dude you see every morning outside the 7-11 but have been too afraid to talk to. See, an invite to my book reading would be the perfect reason to go up and start that long awaited conversation you’ve been thinking about having with him. It’s a win-win-win. 🏁

But if he smells like Listerine or saltines then don’t bring him. 🚫

It jumped off on a whim somewhere in the Fox Valley. Maybe in the Blue Goose parking lot. Maybe at the Geneva Public Library. Maybe on the corner by Water Street Studios. Who knows.

The last four confirmed digits are 1317 — see partial photo of rear plate below.

The missing front plate is metal (not magnetic) with a white background, red lettering, and blue embossed numbers. Sadly, it does not respond to voice commands no matter how firm or how gentle your tone.

The STC police issued me one verbal warning last night and the officer confirmed a ticketed warning could be next. I’ve alerted Jessie White to no avail. After repeated attempts to contact him earlier this morning, all my calls are now being immediately directed to voicemail.

The reward for safe and prompt return of this license plate is one signed copy of my latest book — see attached photo of myself and said book below.

The diaries for 2018 book will be handsomely delivered to your personal front door, or your preferred rendezvous location.

I know I could simply get replacement plates but first I need an emissions check and then I need to go to the DMV. And my poor truck needs an oil change. And then to make matters completely worse, it’s raining and thundering right now. Or it was at least when I started writing this.

Until this matter is resolved, my truck and I will continue to live on the edge of the legal system. Per usual. I should probably print up flyers and hang them at Blue Goose, the Fox Valley libraries, and Water Street Studios.

Please help.

And yes, the book / plate swap is a real thing.

I read one of the entries in my new diaries for 2018 book, affectionately titled You can’t dump that there. It was one of my more popular podcasts from last year so I thought it’d be a good fit for a reading. The video clocks in a little over 9 minutes so pull up a chair and pretend like you’re at my dining room table.

If you’re new here, this is the current tagline for the book:

The ebbs and flows of this alcoholic, it’s all true. A year’s worth of words on my recover journey. Most of the time I don’t know what I’m talking about.

You may be asking yourself where you could buy this book. That would be a very good question. Below are links for your clicking pleasure.

Guys, I was in Town House Books earlier today, pimping my diaries for 2018 book. They’re going to look it over and see if it’s something they want on their shelves. I even gave them my phone number.

This isn’t the kind of thing I normally do. I’m not the kind of person to venture out and put myself under any kind of spotlight. But as the saying goes: if we always do what we always did, we’ll always get what we always got.

And really, I want something more out of life than what I’ve always had… 👠

So Amazon lets me quote reputable sources if they’ve added their review elsewhere.

I was thinking of adding this to my diaries 2018 book:

I just dropped off my book at Harvey’s Tales to see if they’d be interested in carrying it. They’re going to read it and then let me know. By phone. Looks like I’ll have to answer it when it rings for the next cuppa weeks.

Cross your fingers. And your toes. Even if they don’t put it on their shelves, you should still stop in to peruse. Because support local. They got a coffee bar, too!

216 James Street in Geneva.
