Catchall is a catch of all the variety of my past unorganized thoughts and philosophies. During the last-period of years, I’ve been writing myself letters and essays about what’s gone on in my mind and what I think and believe with a little humor and a few dreams. However, such a variety of thoughts and ideas did not make a single simple topic that might make a single simple book.  Pressed with new ideas that would now make a more cohesive book, I thought my former ideas and essays were important enough to be saved in this book. I couldn’t see them wasting away in the computer or inaccessible in a notebook. I wanted to give them a life and let them be free to garner whatever brilliance or aversion is their due. In three articles, Body Surfing, Matusak and Raindrops on my Face, I have taken former prose and presented them.
