Olga da Polga was a guinea pig. It was funny when Olga thought Noel was the panther. That was the best part of the book. Another good part was when Olga da Polga got better. The end.

Daddy Needs a Drink
"Daddy Needs a Drink" by Robert Wilder
No worries, it's just to the right, right now.
Gen X guy pulls at my heartstrings. The brilliant parts are about the younger child who is a little wild (and sucks his middle fingers) (bold statement? I will not judge).
I, as a stay-at-home dad enjoyed this read. Funny, poignant, relevant (to me). More relevant than "Alternadad".

Conversations with Hunter S. Thompson
#1 I would like to report that I read 46 books last year, the most since I have started keeping a book journal (if you are not keeping a book journal, I urge you to start now).
A recent book that I finished (not the most recent, that is another (again) Arryhay Otterpay (it is just nice to be in that world for awhile)) (and now I would like to report that the cat was unsuccessful at deleting this post...and now he his trying (and failing) again) was "Conversations With Hunter S. Thompson" edited by Beef Torrey and Kevin Simonson.
Is this Hunter's best work laid out for all to see? No. Is it sometimes repetitive and derivative? Well, yes. Are the interviewers always on top of it? Are they trying to hard to be "Gonzo" sometimes? Is it a good read for fans of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "The Curse of Lono"? Yes. (It also helps a great deal to have read "Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail" and "Hell's Angels").
I read it through, mostly laying on the couch. New information? Not so much. Inhabiting Hunter's world? Sometimes. Does it make me want to be a Gonzo journalist? Not like Fear and Loathing (then I faint away from imaging too many drugs and alcohol (what a pansy)).
