Mike Alkus:

YOU CAN’T MAKE IT UP  

With boundless pioneering spirit and a total memory lapse about

the most recent 300 years of American population movements, the

author decided it made perfect sense to chuck Malibu and move the

family to the Mysterious East Coast.

The result is YCMIU -- hilarious dispatches from today’s Upstate

New York world of amused neighbors, overdressed livestock, and water

that’s trying to kill you…

Mike Alkus was last seen wandering the woods behind the barn, searching for a 24-foot

 ladder he’s sure he lost back there. Before that, Mr. Alkus and family resided in Southern

California, where, as a denizen of the media/new media wars, he was:  Vice President, Programming

Development (guy in a suit) of the Television Games Network;  a bigwig at a couple of his own

companies; a consultant (guy out of work in a suit);  and, finally, a consultant AND Exec VP

(guy trying to wear two suits at once) for Random/Order, the interactive television consultancy.

              Earlier still, he was the Chairman of the Yale Record (“America’s Oldest [if Not Funniest]

Humor Magazine”), a Class Officer of the Yale Class of 68; and winner of the Mayer Prize for

Satirical Writing.

             He survives with his significant playmate Susan Hamilton and their five children, many

of whom acknowledge the relationship.
