Two decades of laughs ... and wisdom? For 20 years, starting in
1988 and continuing to 2007, Steve Johnston's humor columns were a
reader favorite in The Seattle Times. Now, for the first time, his
family has collected some of their favorites in this book -
immortalizing, among other things, Steve's wife Nancy, the "Truly
Unpleasant Mrs. Johnston." Here you will find more than 40 of the
200 or so Sunday Punch columns he wrote for the newspaper's Pacific
Northwest magazine, plus a tasty selection of the "restaurant
reviews" and Just Ask Johnston question-and-answer columns he did
for the paper's Eastside edition. Settle back, prepare to chuckle
... and perhaps nod your head in agreement as Steve recounts his
life with a big and sometimes noisy family, among many other
topics. A word from a boss... When people learned that I worked at
The Seattle Times, their first question - usually asked with an air
of hopeful expectation - was, "Do you know Steve Johnston?" That
was followed quickly by, "Is he really like what he sounds like in
his columns?" And, "Is his wife 'Truly Unpleasant'?" The short
answers were yes, yes and definitely, absolutely no. Steve
connected with so many readers not just because he is funny (though
many women failed to appreciate the humorous way he regarded his
wife, Nancy, in print), but because he writes about life in ways
many of us experience it. In a word, Steve's writing is genuine. So
is he. Steve's stories are funny, but they are also filled with
timeless insights about life that make them worth reading again and
again. Enjoy. Alex MacLeod Managing Editor, 1986-2003 The Seattle
Times
