So thankful for your resurrection, Bob! And so bummed to be missing this event: I’ll likely be stuck on I-5 right at that time (what a great way to spend Mother’s Day). Break a leg!
Wow, you’re really moving up in the world! I’ll sign in from on the road (home from our first trip to see Dear Daughter in her new digs ❤️). Thanks for all you do!
Well, crap. This sounds like a world of fun, but we have a concert at 2:00 at the Mondavi. Otherwise, we’d certainly be there, Bob. Now about that Oxford comma, if we’re late getting to Sudwerks there’s always the possibility we could eat shoots and run, I suppose.
Leave the Mondavi at 3:45 and you'll be there in plenty of time. Or get there at intermission around 5, grab a beer and act like you've been there the whole time. I won't tell.
Sounds like a great event. I'd be there in a heartbeat if I didn't live in Oregon. We're living parallel lives, Bob. When I tried to get publicity for a new book, my former paper in Eugene wouldn't even return my calls. Oh, well. Have fun!
Those reading this should know, Bob, that I used to subscribe to the Register Guard specifically to read your stuff. You are a great story teller. Your stuff on the Pacific Crest Trail is legendary. Glad your Substack is so successful. I'll meet you halfway for a cup of coffee at the Hi-Lo in Weed.
Unfortunately, we’ll be in AZ for Mother’s Day🏜️…and, we’ll truly miss attending the festivities, humor, and cheeseburgers. (BTW: there IS a local chain near us there, called, “Cold Beers and Cheeseburgers” 🍺🍔. Perhaps we’ll pull in and read a selection of your work🤔💭). Congratulations on your 1st anniversary as The Wary One, Bob….it’s been a wonderful ride—particularly with the unrestricted number of pieces you’re allowed to write😜. Looking forward to many more years to come. Reminder: sleep with the script under your pillow, no whistling in the dressing room, only say “the Scottish play” (not “MacBeth”), and break a leg.🙏🏼
It’s on my calendar! I’ll mention it in my column too.
That would be great, Wendy.
Thanks a million.
Feels like another launch party
You had me at cheeseburger with extra mayo
I may have one delivered to the stage, Ted
should i wear my Beat Bobby sweatshirt?
Absolutely required dress
Any chance the event will be on the radio?
Probably not, but there is a possibility it will be filmed and posted.
Thanks for writing, I love connection to home.
Thanks Stephen.
Where are you now?

I'm pretty sure the whole event will be televised live on CBS, with Walter Cronkite narrating. Have a great trip wherever you're going.

Where are Dear Daughter's new digs?
Claremont! Long drive down, then back up I-5. Happy to be with her on Mother’s Day weekend 🥰
Have the best trip ever, Catherine. Such a joy to be together on Mother's Day.
Thank you, and I appreciate your kindness, Bob! Hope there is lots of great celebration at your house this weekend too 🥰
There will be. When I saw your words "Bob! Hope" I thought maybe Bob Hope was coming to Mother's Day dinner.

We'll save you some shoots.

Oh, wish I could be there! I would love it and how I would love to see your bride ❤️
She wishes she could see you, too, Donna
I smell controversy! Celebrating a man on the national day of mothers
