Doesn’t every writer have a blog? Join up with The “Thurber Brigade” to read a communiqué from the front of the War Between Men and Women. The Brigade often comments on relationships, or more precisely the differences between men and women. Join the skirmish at any time: http://thurberbrigade.blogspot.com/
Besides writing activities, he likes to say he's done it all (although it's possible he exaggerates like in his funny short stories). He's flown airplanes as well as jumped out of them at over 800 feet; he's brewed beer as well as drinks it whenever he can; he has traveled overseas as well as around the US. However, his favorite leisure activities include hiking the National Parks, watching hockey/football and listening to live music in Austin.
“Oh, and although I don’t particularly like the IRS, I still do not like terrorists and have no desire whatsoever to attack our federal government. This is the United States. If you don’t like our government, go out and vote"--From Author's note in "Tax Break”
“Just like our forefathers in Boston Harbor, who boarded a British ship to let the king know they would have none of his tyrannical rule, this man boarded the pirate ship called the IRS, and let the repressive government, the unfeeling government that is embodied by the man who inhabits the building over there," Hamilton said, pausing and pointing to the White House, a few blocks away. "This courageous man let that evil government know he would no longer suffer under its indifference. Would no longer tolerate taxation without representation. Would no longer accept the injustice and indignity met out by that government organization."From TAX BREAK, written in 1991, but sounding like today's politics.”
