10 Dad Jokes for Authors

 Father's Day is approaching (at least while writing this, if you're reading it in the future, here are ten dad jokes from the past!), and every dad appreciates a good joke that elicits a groan. So here are 10 jokes, compiled by Valerie Moss, that dads can tell in exchange for laughs of pity. Enjoy!

  1. I'm reading a book about antigravity. I couldn't put it down.
  2. Want to hear a joke about a piece of paper? Nevermind...it's tearable.
  3. Why does the ghost always need more books? She goes through them too quickly.
  4. Why does an elephant use his trunk as a bookmark? So her nose where he stopped reading.
  5. I just finished this book about Mount Everest. It was a cliff-hanger.
  6. A second glance is all that is necessary for a book re-view.
  7. I had plans to begin reading a book about sinkholes, but they fell through.
  8. What did the sketchbook say to the novel? I'm drawing a blank.
  9. What did one book say to the other? "I'd like to check you out."
  10. You've never read Jane Austin? All you need is a little Persuasion.

Liminal : adj: relating to a transitional or intermediate state, stage, or period Liminal Space:  noun: a state or place characterized by being transitional or intermediate in some way; informal: any location that is unsettling, uncan...

Blast from the past

 Common wisdom says that you should never Google yourself, and so I usually don't. However, I did just that to see WHAT would come up (good or bad)when someone Googles me. To my surprise I stumbled upon this old (ok, it's less than 10 years old) video I did at my alma mater. https://mediaspace.ccsu.edu/media/Auth+1101+Michael+Bertolini/1_1b87svqu/100204881 The crazy thing is how young I look.
