no problem. i keep meaning to buy his book "why dogs chase cars", but i end up just lazing about at powell's (largest independent bookstore in the world, if i recall correctly) and reading it. i checked out some of his other stuff as well...also good, but i highly recommend "why dogs chase cars". i read the shortest of the collected short stories contained in the book, and in 8 pages, it went from hilarious to moving, with some memorable characters, even more memorable when you read the other stories.
