Evany's Book is Here!
I used to think Evany Thomas was the funniest, cleverest cream puff I’d ever met, but that was before she forced me--one hot summer day a couple years ago-- to march over a hill that was so steep I swear it looked just like a big humped-up brontosaurus crapping in silhouette against the day’s cartoon-blue sky (and it just so happened we were approaching turd side). Our legs and lungs were already burning from the first few hours of the hike, and it would have been pretty easy to walk around this hill, but it turns out that Evany Thomas (and I use her full name here because that’s the way she leaves it on my answering machine, I guess in fear that I might confuse her with some other Evany) is the type of person who has to climb the mountain just because it is there. Late last year, she wrote her first book, The Secret Language of Sleep: A Couple’s Guide to the Thirty-Nine Positions, which is both clever AND funny, and arriving in stores as I type this! I’ll let you decide if it’s creamy and/or puffy, but I am certain you’ll want one. I don’t need to threaten you or anything, right?
