The Many Grape

Joseph Picard's second book inspired by the packing slips on meals he received while hospitalized.I TOLD you not to buy the last book.You only had to wait two years for me to get tossed into the hospital again. Now it's more than twice as big......get your mind out of the gutter.This book is 98% family-friendly. 95%. Find your firm sausage and tea-bagging jokes elsewhere, you depraved fiend.The One Grapes was kind of short, as books go, and the whole thing is a part of this book. Then, a second, longer stay in the hospital spawned more inane doodles and ramblings to more than double the size. Join in as Joseph survives the slings and arrows of bland and boring, longing for such exotic things as salt.Facing practically the same selection of foods as last time, Joseph was well prepared mentally for the onslaught, but didn't think to bring along a salt shaker from home. Or a bottle of hot sauce.Or vodka. The nurses never came through with vodka, despite being asked multiple times a day for over three months.And they call it a hospital.#sad

Born in 1976, he has lived all over Canada, but has called the Meadow-Ridge area of BC his home since 1992. While cycling to his job as a computer technician, he got into a fight with a car in 2001. The car won, and Joseph became a T5/6 paraplegic. This has not hampered his chances at winning the superbowl, as he's been a self-declared nerd for as long as he can remember. Since his injury, he has focused on his writing and a little on his art, much of which is related to his fiction and can be found at www.ozero.ca. In May, 2007 he became proud father of Caitlin, followed in 2011 a son, Lachlan. He awaits the day that stemcells or super awesome telekinetic flight powers will allow him to unfurl his black trenchcoats yet again.
