Today is April 5th. It seems like it should be spring outside, right? Believe it or not, some people think that because I live in Maine, I’m a resident of Canada. I get strange emails.
Truth is, on this Thursday I feel like I’m in the Himalayas. This morning there is about a foot of snow that fell overnight in Portland, Maine. Today is the opening day for the cryptid-named Portland Sea Dogs baseball team, but, of course, that event has to be postponed. So, back to thoughts of cryptozoology….
Humans may be dealing with incredibly unbelievable Easter/Passover skiing in the next few days in the state, but what will the Windigo, our local Bigfoot of Maine, be doing in the over two feet of snow in the mountains after such a bizarre winter? The dog running through my frontyard had trouble. How do Bigfoot move around after a surprise snowstorm? Very carefully, obviously.
Meanwhile, flash images of lake monsters are on my mind too. I will be off to Lake Champlain very soon on a mini-expedition in pursuit of Champ. More on that here on this blog soon.
And April 24th is rapidly approaching, the launch date for Mysterious America: The Ultimate Guide to the Nation’s Weirdest Wonders, Strangest Spots, and Creepiest Creatures. That means more radio shows and book signings.
Speaking of books, it has been a busy month of filling a flurry of orders in March. Sorry for any delays due to my distractions from the History Channel shoot and mini-trips I’ve enjoyed making in the last four weeks. (I really need a volunteer to help me.)
If you wish to double-check on your order, please write me directly at lcoleman{@}maine.rr.com (as opposed to leaving a comment below, which will be deleted). I’m sure your autographed book will arrive in the next week or so. If you want to order another or new book, you can also write me there too, to see if I have one available.
For those folks asking me if I will be speaking “nearby” in 2007, well, yes, maybe. I know I’ll be giving presentations, for example, on the “Dover Demon” at the “Mass Monster Mash” in Massachusetts in October, on a surprise subject at Craig’s Texas conference later in the fall, and on cryptozoology in general during a lecture in New York City in December. I’ll share the details here as the dates approach.
Tree branches are dropping like flies and power outrages are spreading in Maine. Looks like I should just get out my Accoutrements Bigfoot action figure and make tiny little footprints in the snow. Then watch them melt into giant tracks if the sun ever comes out. Sort of like Sir Edmund Hillary did in the Himalayas, without any consideration that the tracks would merge into each other and no one in their right mind would think that were from a Yeti.
This popular Bigfoot is available through their retail outlet, Archie McPhee.
