Q. Wasn't there a longer bio here before? It mentioned something about
carving tomatoes.
A. Was there? Did it? (Oh, all right, it did. And it even linked to a
description of me carving tomatoes (I'm a caterer's son.) Unfortunately,
WAMU -- the radio station where the tomato carving piece first aired -- is
reorganizing their online archives, so the link doesn't work at the moment.
The best way to fill the time until it becomes active again is to
purchase a copy of the book and read
it.)
