Uncle Al's Geezer Salad: A Mixed Bag of Reports on Overlong Repair Projects, Smart Remarks from Dogs, and a Whole Lot of One Man's Decline Into - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
For close to twenty years, Al Sicherman wrote a hugely popular column in the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Here he offers an assortment of those delightfully entertaining reports: The solution to the mystery of underwear in the gutter; tales of household and automotive repairs gone horribly wrong; peculiar insights into the world of finance; observations on increasing geezerification, and much more.Uncle Al is everyman¬ or everyman s uncle with unflagging overconfidence in his handyman prowess and an apparent inability to quit while he s not too far behind, but the good grace to write about it all hilariously. When he isn t making his third trip to the hardware store for what always appears at first to be a simple project, Sicherman unfailingly trips over outcroppings of the ridiculous in other areas of modern life, only some of which are his own fault: He ponders an ask-your-doctor TV ad for a liquid stitches product called Dermabond that encourages people bleeding all over emergency rooms to engage hospital staffers in a lively discussion of the merits of various methods of wound closure. He reveals the unbelievable details of the plaque that rocket scientists put on the side of the Voyager 2 spacecraft, in case it is met by an alien life-form (one highlight is a recording of Chuck Berry singing Johnny B. Goode ). And then there s the cheery tale of the day he hit each of his two vehicles once. With the other one.

I almost had to be carried out of the Cross River Café [in Schroeder, Minnesota], laughing maniacally, making rude, disruptive noises as I read. . . . I even read parts aloud to the assembled waitresses. We all think you re a wonderful writer with a rare feel for the lost Dickensian plot. Patricia Hampl, St. Paul Nothing was funny about Mondays until Al started writing his humor column for the Star Tribune. What a welcome collection! Stephanie Wendt, NPR host You could write more about less than anyone I could imagine, and I loved reading every word. Mary Meland, Minneapolis Thank you for helping me realize that my husband s inability to start any house projects before 4 p.m. on a Saturday, or to predict what items he might actually need for such projects, is not unique to him. Sandra Mallon, Minneapolis
