As I spilled out I felt the tie-rope for the bail-bucket wrap around my ankle and experienced a long moment of panic, knowing that if I went through the rapid tied to the canoe, I was toast."--from The Beast with Two Brains A TOUR OF ENGLAND with an art smuggler...a Bhutan trek with a new age guru...a river trip requiring twenty-two cases of beer...witnessing the creation of the world's biggest hamburger...
