One day Sam Puckett was hanging out with Billy-Bob Gautama, sitting around drinking beers. Sam turned on the TV and started flipping channels. “What’s on?” said Billy-Bob. “Nothin’,” said Sam. “Good,” said Billy-Bob. “Let’s watch that.”

Shameless plug for a friend–get in touch with your inner Jew.
My childhood friend Steve Rosen, who plays viola for the Cincinnati Orchestra, has just released this. Check it out.

“There’s lots of parables about a poor man learning to be content to be poor. That’s cuz most of ’em were made up by rich folk who were content to be rich.”
— Billy-Bob Gautama
Copy of email sent to Jonathon Frid
I just sent the following to JonathonFrid.com, and thought I may as well share it here as well:
Back in 1993, I published my 12th novel, AGYAR, my only vampire novel. I was one of those kids who raced home from school to catch Dark Shadows at 3:30. Until recently, when I’ve been watching DS again, I didn’t realized the degree to which Jack Agyar was influenced by Barnabas Collins. Now that I am aware of it, it seems only fair to acknowledge it, and to say thank you.
Warm regards,

A great zen teacher came up to Billy-Bob Gautama and said, “I know that today is your birthday, thus I intend to give you a gift. I give you greatest gift there is: nothing.” Billy-Bob said, “And the greatest state of the mind is thoughtlessness,” then he hit the teacher over the head with the short staff named Hank. “Thank you,” said the teacher, having thus received enlightenment.
