You've been watching "A Shmoe in the Desert." This program was made possible by a grant from the Institute for Supposedly Fun Things That Should Never Be Repeated, The Thank God I'm Back Where There's Real Air Conditioning Foundation…

Special thanks to the people at Bookman's in Tucson for letting me wander in and do a reading. You're really cool folks even though you're all deranged for living someplace that gets that screaming goddamn hot. I really suggest you seek professional help. Or water. Or both. I'm saying this as a friend.

If you're wandering into our tale at the end, feel free to click here and start from the bottom of the page if you want any kind of chronology. Then work your way backwards. You'll figure it out.
