Hello, to one and all! I am Hoops P. Schlopencawk, purveyor of fine advice, common sense and the occasional can of whoop ass when it seems like someone might need it. This isn't your parent's advice column though. You won't get any Dear Abby type sweetness in these pages and you won't find a collaborator or co-conspirator to indulge your illusions.
What you will get is real, honest, heartfelt advice from someone who cares. It'll be direct and to the point and truthful. Just remember, sometimes the truth hurts.
I've been doing the advice gig thing for over 5 years now and have amassed quite the little following. This is a new forum, but it will have the same old Dear Hoops advice that long-time readers have come to know and love from my previous blog and the time I spent writing this column at www.sacramentobookreview.com.
I hope you continue to enjoy things here at the new home of Dear Hoops. If you have a question, you can leave it as a comment after an entry or you can email me directly at dearhoops@gmail.com.
And away we go again...
