about me

Musings on Minutiae is the hilarious new humor book by Weston Locher which collects 50 essays and anecdotes about his unbelievable childhood memories, his strained relationship with his felines, and everything in between.

Locher is an Ohio native who escaped the state because he was tired of being cold and wet in the winter and overheated in the summer. Mostly, he left because his parents refused to believe in the concept of air conditioning. Being the sum of a journalist father and an English teacher mother he was doomed to a life of writing before he was able to consciously make the decision for himself. He chose to write humor because his parents made the mistake of telling him that he was funny. This is further proof of why you shouldn’t lie to your children.

Locher’s column, “101 Ways to Hurt Yourself: A Children’s Guide to Recess,″ was named as a semi-finalist in HumorPress.com’s bi-monthly America’s Funniest Humor! writing contest. Other writing awards and recognitions earned by Locher include having the majority of his columns printed out by his parents and hung on their refrigerator. Weston currently resides in Orlando, Florida.

Musings on Minutiae

Weston Locher

"The joke-per-dollar bargain of the year!" A collection of hilarious essays and anecdotes detailing the author's observations about his cats, childhood memories, and much more.


Welcome to Weston Locher's Musings on Minutiae where the author offers up hilarious observations and insights on topics of great importance such as: Living in an urban apartment complex ("...if I become an admitted pet owner, then I have to pay not only a several hundred dollar deposit to the apartment complex, but I'm pretty sure that they also reserve the right to harvest some of my bodily organs..."), life with frenetic felines ("They scamper in front of my legs, causing me to fall and face plant into whatever furniture is closest. They especially like to play this game when I'm carrying piping hot coffee."), his childhood memories ("Our family was nearly torn apart on several occasions by arguments started when the refrigerator door was open for what my father deemed as `too long.'"), and much more. Chock full of humorous essays and personal anecdotes, Musings on Minutiae will keep you laughing for as long as you have a pulse.

Hi Brad! In an effort to support my fellow humor writers, I gave "Bachelorhood" a read and definitely had some laughs. Definitely been in your shoes before.
