"If you rupture a kidney laughing, it's your own damn fault.” JIM HORNBECK ARIZONA NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION CONTRIBUTOR TO CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL "VALUES THAT MATTER" "Tony Bender’s cult-humorist, prairie-celebrity persona is nice, but listen closer. Recent visits we’ve had indicate to me that Tony’s expectations for himself, and his writing, are soaring. Oh, he’ll fashion the vivid rib-ticklers from the ordinary stuff of Dakota life, but lately he’s looking deeper. We’re the better for that. Life up our way depends on this bench-sitting, clutch-grinding, tear-wiping, baby boomer wordsmith. Values that matter—that propel communities—get preserved and passed along through Tony’s words. Every morning at daybreak, fingering the keyboard, cup of strong coffee steaming close by, Tony Bender binds us, nudges us ahead. His knack for making us chuckle is mere icing on the cake."
