The Boonville Daily News

Yesterday I made it onto the front cover of the local paper; The Boonville Daily News (3 photos!). I've gotten a number of responses from people who have read the article or heard me on the local radio program. Many people have emailed me and even more have said hi to me at the local bar or on the street. One guy, wanting to help support my travels, handed me a twenty dollar bill at my new favorite bar, WJs. I said "no, thank you" but I was secretly hoping he would offer it to me again (I have a two "thank you but I can't" rule, after two it's all mine). He did offer again and I said no, again. An hour later, after walking out of the bathroom, I found my new friend was gone but a $20 bill laid waiting for me in his stead. Go Pirates!
Read the article here. They say I'm from Buffalo instead of Brooklyn but whatever...

Hey Tim,
Happy all is well. I am excited to here the details. How are those Missouri sunsets?
You've just been treated to the reverse of the East Coast's "Minneapolis, Milwaukee...aren't they the same?". At least Buffalo and Brooklyn are in the same state! Perhaps it's not parochial snobbery after all. Perhaps we are just geographically challenged?
I'm hoping you discover and can capture a sense of place on your journey. That we haven't slid so far that all Boonville's are the "same".
we ARE all geographically challenged. seriously.
good luck with your project, tim

Tim: Guess what?! The AP has picked up the article Emily wrote about you and your book. It's on the state wire, so who knows what papers will pick it up this weekend. You'll be EVEN more famous! Hope you're having fun... ~Theresa
PS. Emily says "hi."
