Sticklebats! I can't finish this book for OSV with all the confounded relatives hanging on the bell all day...
You read that post title right, people! Our Sunday Visitor Publishing, mistaking me for a writer, has asked me to write a book for them! I’m extremely honored and thrilled. Unfortunately, I am contractually bound to say nothing about the topic of the book, but it IS definitely about something and I have to turn in my work this Fall. So, pray for me, please—I mean really.![]()
Item #2: Thank you to all of you nice people who have purchased my CD, Thumbwrestle. It gives me a lot of pleasure to keep producing music, even in my own humble, D.I.Y. way. Your support is encouraging, and it literally puts food in my multitudinous children’s mouths. I thank you on their behalf, since they aren’t supposed to talk with their mouths full.
Item #3: Speaking of CDs, I am waiting for a new batch to arrive, so you peeps who have purchased recently will have to wait an extra few days. I’m truly sorry about that, since ordinarily my middle name is Prompt. Not really…it’s Francis. Shut up.
Item #4: Finally, the book I’m writing for OSV is not Frontman, which I talk about here. I’m not sure what’s going on with that. What I’ve decided to do is write another Trilopost, similar to my How I Made Friends With the Devil Trilopost, but this one will be anecdotes from my days in Pain and how I found my way back to da Choich (that’s “the Church,” spoken like Jimmy Durante). Look for the first SUPER-exciting installment this Friday!
So there you have it: lots of big news and exciting stuff. God bless!



Congratulations, Dan! This is wonderful news. I can’t wait to hear what the book will be about.
That IS big news and exciting stuff!!! Congratulations to you and your family
Yay Dan! Oh, Congratulations congratulations! Wow, between you and your lovely wife, your keyboards must be burning up around there. Good luck to you both!
Thanks, everybody! I deeply appreciate your encouragement.
Sweet! I’m chomping at the bit to get my paws on this upcoming book-Congratulations Dan!
