Suspect Thoughts editor and self-described “mama bear” writes of his recent marriage to STP publisher Greg Wharton:

On February 19, 2004, he married heartthrob author-publisher Greg Wharton in San Francisco�s City Hall. On August 12, 2004, the California State Supreme Court annulled their marriage. He is uncertain whether this annulment, like Henry VIII�s in days of old, means he is also a virgin once more. He�s having a hard time distinguishing, let alone separating, church from state these days.

I know 3rd is leather and fifth is wood (both wildly entertaining shopping prospects)… but what is the traditional gift for an Judicial annulment?

Received my first review for the Moore/Mayo collection today:

And, finally, the perfect way to end a not-so-perfect summer on the Maine coast is a good dose of stories from the master Ruth Moore, and her companion Eleanor Mayo.

Edited and eloquently introduced by Ms. Moore’s grand-nephew Sven Davisson, this collection of stories such as the title tale, “When Foley Craddock Tore Off My Grandfather’s Thumb,” or “How Come You’re Picking My Violets?” or “Aids to the Unwary” are variously funny, poignant or outrageous, but always have such a ring of truth to them they seem to be the perfect verbal illustration for the kind of people and vanishing way of life Colin Woodard talks about in “The Lobster Coast.” [another book reviewed in the article]

A reviewer from Maine Sunday Telegram interviewed me night before last. The article should appear mid-September. I have an radio interview on WERU slotted for sometime in September as well.

So finally a little press for the book…
