Bill Hall is a dynamic figure, often seen rescuing seals and sketching pierced body parts. He translates ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees and writes award winning operas; he manages time efficiently. Occasionally, he treads water for three days in a row. He makes women swoon with sensuous and god-like tuba ballads and cooks thirty minute brownies in twenty minutes. He is an expert in stucco, a proselytizer of the Kama Sutra and an outlaw in Peru. He plays bluegrass cellos, was scouted by the Packers and is the subject of numerous documentaries. He does not perspire. Children trust him. He once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick and David Copperfield in one day, and has memorized the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. He has performed several covert operations for the CIA. He sleeps once a week when he sleeps, he sleeps in a chair. The laws of physics do not apply to him. He knows the DaVinci code?backwards.
