No need to wipe your feet; this party is come as you are. And you’re always welcome at the Cardboard Box Hotel. Pull a nail keg closer to the fire and set yourself down. Say hello to Tokay Red, Little Ernie, and their friend and mentor, Wise Henry the Geek. Tag along as Lieutenant 12:15 A. M. ventures into a labyrinth of underworld caverns in pursuit of Gwendolyn the Gorgeous Bag Lady, the queen mother of America’s homeless population. Experience a typical Minnesota party at a nude beach on the sheltered bank of a secluded lake. Enjoy a generous helping of lutefisk and aquavit at the Snoose Boulevard Peemanship Tournament and Greater Minnesota Piss-Off.

Then travel north to join the usual suspects in the aftermath of a Halloween prank. Witness the ascension of King Einar the First to his woodland throne. Watch an entire village sink into the dark water of a forgotten lake. And pay homage to Peggy Mattice, a legendary fille de joie who entertained the lumberjacks during the first half of the twentieth century.

Snoose Boulevard and Points North houses a collection of short stories and brief satirical essays. Many of the stories and essays were originally written for Your Keyhole Companion, an organ of the now-defunct Society of Dirty Old Men and therefor may reflect a cultural bias. Other essays, more political in nature, reveal the liberal leanings of the author. There, you've been warned. Proceed at your own risk.
