Steve Tomasko says "There are so many things in this world that surprise me. I like to write about those surprises. I find myself baffled when other people are not amazed or amused by the same things I am (why isn’t everyone interested in the mites that live in our eyebrows?). But there it is; that’s the grandness of diversity; not everyone likes the same stuff (but still, mites, living full lives—in our eyebrows!). Really, I’m not obsessed, my writing just may make it seem so."
