  Who let the Dawgs out? UGA in the mid-seventies; the Dawgs were loose. No dawg catcher in Athens could keep pace with this pack of Red Clay hounds and the tall tales they lived at the University of Georgia! 
  The radical sixties had ended. The wide open seventies followed. You saw the movie Animal House. Jeff Head lived it. Return to the University of Georgia campus from 1974 to 1977. You will be transported to the corner of Baxter Street and Lumpkin Street, cater-corner from old Stegeman Hall. A stone’s throw from the UGA Bookstore; and a short stroll to historic Sanford Stadium. You will be treated to tall tales, all true. Like nothing you have read since Lewis Grizzard, enjoy THE PLUSH TAIL, OBNOXIOUS NINE, BANANAS FOSTER, STREAKING UGA STYLE AND MUCH, MUCH MORE. If you like a good belly laugh, this book is for you. If you are a wallflower, get an old copy of Ladies Home Journal. But for the guys and girls who enjoy living life to the fullest, get ready for a full body laugh. 
   “There’s only one way to be a DGD...and that’s to pick up a flea or two...and Jeff’s stories are Dawg-gone funny...and awfully close for comfort for every UGA grad...and parent! A carefree, fun read that's sure to take you down memory lane...or at least Baxter,Lumpkin, and Milledge! Enjoy

  A short comic novel about a Hawaii-bound holiday traveler who ends up stranded in his North Dakota hometown during a blizzard.A wealthy and depressed man (thanks to the economy he’s not quite rich enough to expand his cache of paintings by Vincent Van Guy, the famed Dutch realist) bound for Christmas in the tropics is abruptly summoned home to North Dakota to visit an ailing aunt. He arrives just in time to be trapped there by a blizzard. The electricity goes out, and when it does, figures from his childhood appear, and historical figures too, for a festive candlelit holiday. In his reverie, our man reaches an epiphany worthy of the season—he hears the harkening angels sing, he is awed by the silence of the night (dead quiet: not even TV) and when he is finally rescued, leaves North Dakota resolved to simplify his life.
