Dr. Robert Brake is a college teacher, freelance columnist, jazz musician, and animal lover who lives in Ocean Park, Washington with his lovely wife Gwen, terminally-cute, bullet-speed wire fox terrier Skippy, and furry felines, Oscar and Rudy. Brake loves a funny story, great one-liners, great characters, and being the center of attention. Dr. Brake now hopes to sell enough copies of this book to renew his subscription to People, buy a new set of tires and new undershorts, and pursue his modest ambition to save mankind.
