Underminers in the midst

As you may know, I can’t get enough of Mike Albo and his character The Underminer, succinctly described in the subtitle of his new book as “the best friend who casually destroys your life.” A few days ago I posted his Valentine’s Day piece to my del.icio.us links, and yesterday Thom told me that he and his co-author, Virginia Heffernan, were on NPR’s Talk of the Nation to promote the book. I listened to the show on headphones earlier today here at the office, while trying to do some work, and at one point I was so on the verge of laughing out loud that I had to pause it and compose myself.
