ZEN AND THE ART OF BRAZILIAN STICKY & Other Roofing Tales - Gennita Low - Bog

Life as a roofer is hard work. Endless hours beneath a blazing sun, pounding rain, howling wind and even the occasional hurricane (you'd be surprised at the calls during a hurricane). But there are lots of laughs and moments of Zen if you spend time with Gennita's cast and crew. There is nothing like watching life through the eyes of a female roofer who writes romance books, a bunch of "crapenters," a grumpy Airborne Ranger Vietnam Vet, and a stucco man affectionately dubbed "the Brazilian Sticky Man" with a flair for creative renaming of just about everything under the sun. In fact, his "Semen Maker" is probably the star of the show, with its Zen way of giving meaning to daily shenanigans.
