Allow me to introduce you to Mark Begich, currently mayor of the city of Anchorage and a candidate for the US Senate. A friend of a friend asked him to pose with one of my books for the website, and he actually did. Guy’s a good sport and obviously has a good sense of humor, too, and for his pains is now officially a Danamaniac with a book. And his wife owns a bookstore, gotta love that. Thanks, Mark!

And remember the, um, interesting start I referred to on the second day of the Homer Yacht Club Regatta? Inevitably, someone was there with a camera, and…you guessed it, it’s on YouTube.
Take a look here. Scary.
