Short Stories of Wit, Humor, and Life. Tales of being a child, raising children, and getting older.
My parents said, "Never put anything in writing. It could always come back to haunt you and you may regret it." Well, being the obedient child that I have always been I decided to write a book! I could be haunted; I could regret it. But I can't stop. Some writers suffer from writer's block. I am inflicted with writer's babble.
I do realize why my parents gave this advice. They may had experienced the regret. They put signatures on a public record, in permanent ink, forever. They signed my birth certificate. Did they regret it? Did it haunt them?
Ever since I can remember I've been told I should do a stand-up comedy routine. Well, excuse me, but sporting these varicose veins do I want to work all night and especially on my feet? I think not. So here it is. I suggest you should have the funniest and most animated friend you know read this to you, standing up.
If not:
1. Get comfortable.
2. Grab a cup of coffee, the Elixir of the Gods and Goddesses of humor writing and reading.
3. Tilt your head to the right slightly, to get the slant I have when looking at life.
4. Start to read. Put down anytime. Pickup anytime. That's the only way to read, life has many interruptions and some very important.
5. Read a little, think a little, but laugh a lot.
