Here’s a book guaranteed to “perk” up your morning coffee break, proving that tall tales can be short. Learn to distinguish a terrorist from a mother and her baby, or how to do the beer curl to get in shape for football season. Meet Stummick, who does nothing but hang out all day, and B.B. Hardbody, a woman of great wisdom and beauty (who would gleefully strangle the author if he wrote anything else). Shake hands with characters like Grizzly Hemingway, a fly fisher who says beer coolers bounce because ale is made with hops. Each story will put a smile on your face and get you through the rest of the day - no matter what kind of geek your boss is.

About the Author
As a youngster in Spokane, WA, Seabury Blair Jr. hiked, often lost, around the prehistoric hills of his native city and flailed at trout in local waters with a fly rod. He continues to get lost and flail - though with far greater skill after six decades of practice.After serving in the U.S. Army, Blair became a reporter for The Bremerton Sun, a daily newspaper in Washington State. He emphatically denies the paper changed its name to The Kitsap Sun to disassociate itself from him. The author dodged serious work for 30 years while conning Scripps Howard and Associated Press Sports Editors out of national writing awards.Well versed in the art of talking the talk without walking the walk, Blair wrote Backcountry Ski! Washington, which won instant acclaim by at least two people not directly related to him. Riding the wave of success, he wrote Day Hike! Olympic Peninsula and Day Hike! Columbia Gorge.He lives with his wife at Lake Symington, a weed-infested pond distant from anything noteworthy. There, he does as little as possible while hoping to win the lottery.This is his first effort at writing something utterly without redeeming social or cultural values.
