Publisher's summary

Who would have thought the turn of the last Century would one day be ancient history? In "More Slightly Off the Mark, Why I Hate Cats, and Other Lies", former newspaper columnist Mark R. Hunter went back to collect his humor pieces from 2000 and 2001—the earliest ones to be put on a computer. In DOS format, on a floppy disk.

The amount of change in just twenty years resulted in Hunter completely rewriting the columns, and inserting his present self (and his dog, Beowulf, through pictures) into the work—mostly to make fun of his older self. Along the way Mark riffs on everything from history to health, vacations, holidays, housework, and of course technology. And weather. Because everyone talks about that. In a more serious section Hunter also tackles the 9/11 attacks … because those were the times we lived in.

Some of the chapters include: Advice From the Clueless, I Ran Out of Excuses to Write About Excuses, When Bad Cities Happen to Good People Civil, Civil War/Summer Vacation—Same Thing, I Just Can’t Stand Intolerant People, The Next Big Step in Medical Disasters, and, of course: Age Ain’t Nothin’ But a Number, But It’s a Really Lousy Number. Mark's humor column was published in newspapers for twenty-five years, and he notes that he could always collect more of them in the future … although state and federal laws are pending.

Mark R. Hunter lives in small town Indiana with his wife/editor/book designer/cover artist/supervisor Emily. Mark thinks he's a Hufflepuff, but keeps testing Slytherin.
