BRAVO!! BRAVO!!  Dave Barry has got nothin' on you!
~Deidre Stroosma, Mount Vernon, WA on "A Fine Food Flambe Affair"

Having been a teacher for 25 years, it is exciting to find a new adventure tale that meets the qualifications of a suspense-filled READ ALOUD story! The imaginative twists and turns of the plot make riveting reading! Can't wait for the second one in the series to be published! Kudo's to the author!
~Stella Mead, Mendocino, CA, on "The Collin Chronicles, Book 1"

Having just finished reading your grout article, I must say, you had me bursting with laughter. I followed that with your article on idiotdom, in fact, I read all the articles posted on your website. You are the funniest engineer I've ever run across!
