Joe Breeze and I got a chapter in that book, and also ten minutes out of the one hour TV show made to complement it.

So Rob Penn and I are friends. When the Wall Street Journal looked for someone to review my book, Fat Tire Flyer, who did they pick? Rob Penn!

I got a great review, which hides behind a paywall.
