Summary

Summer, 1974: music, freedom and a little bit of rebellion. Between his parents' divorce, ADHD, a tangled love life and a desperate need to escape to the Ozark Mountain Music Festival, Jon "Two-Bit" Willis has more problems than he can count.
 
The biggest one is figuring out how to get to the festival without his parents finding out. With a questionable alibi, a stoner crew, and a Volkswagen Beetle, Two-Bit sets off on a wild ride filled with detours, disasters, and unexpected encounters.
 
Along the way, he juggles the affections of two girls and the growing realization that adulthood is just as messy as the road to Sedalia. When the trip takes an unexpected turn, he finds himself in a situation that forces him to finally confront his father - and the truth he’s been avoiding.
 
A nostalgic romp through the heart of the '70s, J Keith Thompson's 'Two-Bit Wizərd' is a tale of music, mischief and self-discovery.

    Conan fan favorite and eccentric YouTube personality Flula Borg presents his first audiobook, a full-length travel-adventure through America's most coveted cultural events!  
    Flula Borg’s fascination with America and its “peoples” have warmed hearts nationwide. A frequent guest of Conan O’Brien, the German-born actor and multi-talented entertainer (think Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat crossed with Billy Eichner) fell in love with the United States upon his first visit as a young boy. Throughout his career, he has succeeded in regaling audiences with stories from his outlandish travel exploits while paying homage to his German upbringing, culminating in a personality that is supercharged and charmingly wholesome.   
    In this zany, eye-opening and delightful six-part audio series, Flula travels the breadth of the United States in search of its coveted and weirdest pastimes to learn more about the country and to better understand what drives people to these cultural events. His adventures include: 
    Experiencing the famed Iditarod dog-sledding race in Alaska 
    Partying Up during the US Open of Surfing in California 
    Donning Elvis duds for Elvis Week in Mississippi 
    Portraying a Minuteman at Lexington’s famous Revolutionary War reenactment 
    In each episode, Flula can be found “shooting the poops,” as he calls it, with the people he meets, including event organizers, participants, founders, and spectators. His goal is to understand what these quintessentially American event means to the communities involved, how each came to exist, and why they have all persisted—and of course, how he can take part! In addition, each segment is filled with brief anecdotes about Flula's childhood and his burgeoning love for America.  
    Infused with Flula’s infectious enthusiasm, Wanderlust, USA is an immersive and uproarious experience that reveals the heart of America in a unique way. Boom!

How to prepare for your first hike and things to not forget to remember on your thousandth hike. Learning to deal with the deuce. Utilizing hiking for mental health and self discovery, mindfulness and slowing down and being present. Finding trail magic and meeting trail angels.

Lace them up, top off your water, bring a snack, and let's hit the trail.

    Bill Nye was a famous American humor columnist in the middle 1800's. He said "We can never be a nation of snobs so long as we are willing to poke fun at ourselves." And he did exactly that in hundreds of newspaper columns that were later collected into books. This is a selection of just 35 of the most humorous, wry and downright funny cogitations of his, written of course in the somewhat convoluted style common in the 19th century which just adds to their flavor in my opinion. The selection process was rigorous: only those that made me laugh, giggle or snort are included.

    More Goops and How Not to Be Them

    Deep in the heart of every parent is the wish, the desire, to have other adults tell us, in an unsolicited way, just how very polite one’s child is!  This perhaps was even more the case in 1903, when Gelett Burgess produced his second book on the Goops.  With entertaining cartoons - cariacatures of misbehaving children - he described many different breaches of tact and good manners. 
    Burgess wrote several books of poetry on the Goops, each poem describing some significant way in which an unthoughtful or unkind child could offend polite society and often offering the hope that the listener would never behave that way.  Ahem!  Well, perhaps very few people have succeeded in not acting Goop-like at some point in their lives, but read along with Burgess as he attempts to define, in a humorous fashion, exactly what the differences between “Good” and “Goop” are!(Summary by Mark F. Smith)
