‘Varicose Vein Festival’
Posted Aug 17, 2009 by Geoff Fox

Retired Saint Leo University English professor Mark “Tiger” Edmonds is back with another Pithy Pasco Reflection. This week, the words “varicose vein festival” have been weaved into his prose.
Besides these “reflections,” Edmonds is the proud writer of The Curmudgeon Chronicles, one-page riffs of scathing social commentary that he regularly reads on an Orlando radio station, the call letters of which he doesn’t recall.
He also is the author of “Longrider,” an account of his million-mile motorcycle trek across the United States and Canada, “The Ghost of Scootertrash Past,” another series of biker tales, and “Hard Scrabble,” the story of his relationship with the late Nancy Pacey, a longtime friend and cancer battler who helped him kick alcohol more than 30 years ago.
Each of his books was published by Livingston Press at The University of West Alabama. He said a fourth book awaits editing.
Information about Edmonds’ work can be found at http://www.drmarktigeredmonds.com.
This week, Edmonds reflects on the potential pitfalls of living and driving in and around Zephyrhills.
