STRUMPDATE

For the next three weeks or so, this blog will be on book tour, which is when a publisher sends an author out to see how long he or she can survive without clean laundry. During this time blogging may be sporadic (from the Greek, meaning “filled with spores”).

We’re heading to California today, then to New York, then to numerous other places. Here’s a schedule. We hope to see you out there. But we advise you to stay upwind.

Once again, Dave misses the potholes sweet spring air of Michigan.

Also, as a public service, I have tested the "author" link above and confirmed it does not point to Barry Manilow's biography.

Best of luck on your tour Dave.
If you get to the end of the tour and wish you could visit one more city, Charlotte, NC has some nice places!

Alright, cancel my trip for the coronation. I now have something important to do next week.

We wish you a great tour. You have lots of fans in Toronto Canada if you do decide to extend your tour. We promise to sink even deeper into chaos in your honour.

It's still Arctic Winter here in the state of Minnesota. You were wise to avoid it.

Heads up to all those long haul truckers out there, if you see a guy thumbing by the side of the road with a bad haircut, wearing a blue T-shirt and matching deck loafers. give him a lift & he'll regale you with stories of honors such as sewer lift stations named after him & Pulitzer prizes, and for a nominal fee will autograph his latest book. Just remember, he's on a tight schedule.

You forgot Kent, Ohio

I see the Sonoma people have billed you as a 'hilarious humorist'. Did not know there was a fine distinction among the humorists - e.g., deadpan humorist, so-so humorist, mildly funny humorist, hilarious humorist, a national treasure humorist. Funny thing, that.

Hope there is a huge turnout in Philadelphia, and that the proceeds from ticket sales go to help the Free Library. I’m not just saying that because my niece works there. (Also, that folks buy the book.)

Wait. This sounds like a vacation schedule to me (with some exceptions). South Carolina is nice this time of year, and we would buy your book. Seriously.

[Pullet Surprise]

Wait. You are going to be not in the Captain's Chair at DBBlog Hdqrtr's? Who will be at the helm? Walter, are you there? So does the word 'mutiny' imply that there are more than one insurrectionists? I mean if Judi decides to mutiny would you call it that? Can just imagine when Walter is the captain he would say "From here on, call me Moby's Dick." Can just hear Judi mumble, "Aye, aye, Moby's prick."

Best wishes! Right around May 8, I'll be surprised if you have any idea what time it is. If you get a chance, check out Neal's Bagels in Kentlands on Darnestown Road in Gaithersburg.

BUT YOU'RE NOT COMING TO TEXAS!!! I am very disappointed.

[Mr. Bill]

Clankie; it isn't so bad now that the snow is a liquid.

Murphy's Law of Laundry: There is always more dirty laundry than clean laundry.

Rebuttal: If it's clean, it isn't laundry.

I liked him on the show, Have Book - Will Travel.

So you start on the East Coast, then fly to the West Coast, then back to the East Coast, then back to the West Coast... Who planned this tour, the Marquis de Sade?
