Bio
Jeff Howe is a bonsai enthusiast and harmonica player who has very good reason to believe that the Universe tastes like a cheap buck-fifty melon. He is a product of Walled Lake and a former Poetry Slam Champion of Milwaukee. He once shook hands with Rocky Colavito, opened for Leon Redbone and took a piss next to Mose Allison (no hands were shaken). All things considered, his best single day was July 4th, 1987 when he marched in the Marmarth, North Dakota parade in the morning, discovered a rare dinosaur skull in the afternoon, and then sat in playing harmonica with a drunken cowboy band until way past tomorrow. It's been downhill ever since. Jeff is a misemployed geologist who specializes in interpreting rock outcrops at 70 miles per hour. It's a gift. His daughter loves cows. ...................................................................................................................

Gravity brings you down. 

Levity brings you up.  

It’s that way with physics,

and it’s that way with life.

Makes me think and laff at the same time. This must be what they call "rapture of the deep." (r)

Appropos of nothing, I've also noticed that beer, in quantity, first provokes levity, then gravity.

The caption of Sir I. here makes me think of a PSA! Maybe they should feature you! (Good stuff for TV!)

I wrote a Seinfeld post last week that means as much as this, I think. But, me being a certified idiot, it might be profound!
