Meet the Author

Author Rick Townley, a baby boomer since birth, proudly states that he was an embarrassment to the English department at a major eastern university and has been writing vaguely witty commentary since his twenties. During his career he was a senior executive at several well-known news and publishing organizations that gave him excellent recommendations when he promised not to return. He was an involved single dad who raised two ungrateful children who are now very successful while he lives in poverty, without electricity or heat, raising a precocious 5-year-old granddaughter named Chloe. She is his writing mascot and subject of a book published last year about their journey together. Rick started the blog in June, 2010, after promising not to attract attention from Homeland Security, the FBI, the AFL-CIO or the NFL. He is a former resident of Manhattan who now lives in southern Alabama. There is no truth to the rumor that he was asked to leave the city by the mayor's office.

    Not as funny as I thought it was going to be.

    It was an okay book but I was hoping for it to be funnier.
