New York Times bestseller Introduction by New York Times bestselling author and famous minor television personality John Hodgman One of my dad’s favorite jokes about getting older was: “I went out for coffee when I was twenty-one and when I got back I was fifty-eight!” I get what he meant now. Time flies. My first book, If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a "B" Movie Actor, was published back in 2001 and it chronicles the adventures of a “mid-grade, kind of hammy actor" (my words), cutting his teeth on exploitation movies far removed from mainstream Hollywood. This next book, an “Act II” if you will, could be considered my “maturing years” in show business, when I began to say “no” more often and gravitated toward self-generated material. Taking stock in the overall quality of my life, I fled Los Angeles and moved to a remote part of Oregon to renew, regroup and reload. If that sounds tame, the journey from Evil Dead to Spider-Man to Burn Notice was long, with plenty of adventures/mishaps along the way. I never pictured myself hovering above Baghdad in a Blackhawk helicopter, facing a pack of wild dogs in Bulgaria, or playing an aging Elvis Presley with cancer on his penis - how can you predict this stuff? The sheer lunacy of show business is part of the fun for me and I hope you'll come along for the ride. – Bruce “Don’t Call Me Ash” Campbell

A children's Christmas book.

"I REMEMBER... ...humorous, inspirational and nostalgic stories, dating from my early childhood experiences to the present day." YOUNG CHILDREN have hundreds of tales to tell, most of them humorous, with a special blend of love and emotion. I tried to share some of my favorites from these formative years. THE TEENAGERS are so much more secretive in their storytelling. My parents hadn't a clue as to what was going on in my mind during the mid-1940's. Read about how we all share in the triumphs and the disappointments of our teen years. LOVE, MARRIAGE & CHILDREN go hand in hand, along with trying to build a home, literally, for your family. Raising children is a wonderful experience. This portion of the book contains more humor than I anticipated. Most of us can relate to these sentimental anecdotes. OLD AGE brings with it a multitude of problems, but I wouldn't change it for the world. It also brings grandchildren, who light up my life and make each day a joy. I have attempted to write about all the inspiration they have bestowed upon this humble writer. JOIN ME as we go through many of these precious golden moments.
