Really Good for Them,” will start at 7 p.m. in Bulldog Theater in Olmsted

as well as other publications.
He is the author of numerous books including “Fold ‘N
Tuck,” an outgrowth of his page in Esquire, “Davy Rocket, Sharing the
Pie,” an animated film and book, and “Freedom Fries,” a political
retrospective.
