Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States

“What caused the American Revolution? This is indeed a rhetorical question that for many years historians have begun chapters with. As well they should. For the American Revolution is without a doubt the single most important historical event to occur in this nation except of course for Super Bowl III (Jets 16. Colts 7. This historian won $35).”So goes the skewed sensibility, the muddied mind, the bent pen of one of America's funniest writers, Dave Barry. This time his subject is U.S. history, the way it's never been told before. Every single momentous event and crucial moment is covered, ... [Read More]

Mosquitos, Snowbirds & Other Florida Pests (Humor Series Book 1)

I will admit that when I moved to Florida, I had all these preconceived notions about the state, and the people who live here. Well, as we acclimated to our environment, we realized that it was all that and more. Something does happen to people when they relocate here, but I can’t explain why. I’m certain that they didn’t act that way back home.Living here among the snowbirds and retirees, and all that is Florida, has given me a wealth of material to write and giggle about. So, kick back and get ready to laugh.
