Last week I wrote about dressing up like a bear and stealing ice cream. Little did I know how much that was going to come back and bite me. As some of you have pointed out, this is Fat Bear Week. And well, I sort of resemble a fat bear, even without the costume.
What is Fat Bear Week? Well in their own words, “Fat Bear Week is an annual competition that celebrates Katmai National Park’s amazing brown bears and the ecosystem in which they thrive. Visit www.fatbearweek.org to cast your vote in this March-madness style competition where bears go head-to-head in matchups for the title of Fat Bear Week Champion.”
Actually, it’s pretty entertaining to watch the fat bear cam on the website. Which gave me an idea. If they have a link on their website that says “Click to Watch Fat Bears Live,” maybe I should have one on my website that says, “Click to Watch a Fat Author Live!”
I don’t think I could compete with the bears, though. They play in streams and catch salmon. I do Google searches for things like how to spell Chihuahua and eat M&Ms. Nobody wants to watch that.
My dog thinks we would get more views if I just had a webcam on him. He sleeps most of the day, but I’m pretty sure he’s correct.
Speaking of dogs, my next book has a dog named Taco Belle. I’m not going to spoil the surprise, but I will tell you it’s the first breed of its kind. Think designer breeding meets The Far Side comics.
Anyway, I hope you have a great week and enjoy the bears!
Carry on, Citizens!
