This book contains a retired man's short commentaries on the tedious, often dumb things he does or has done and the occasional bouts of deep thinking he finds himself in when he's down or trying to figure out how to overcome another personal problem or determine why man in general is always finding himself in some kind of a mess. Sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, these observations swill make you smile or frown, depending on the subject matter, and perhaps prompt some serious thoughts about man's attempt to tip-toe through the tulips of life doing the best he can with what he's got. If you like to read a retiree's down-to-earth, humble attempts to describe the trials and tribulations of life, you will find this book entertaining and spiritually uplifting.

If you decided to forget your clock for a while and climb down off your high-horse long enough to talk to a close friend on his front porch, what would you want to talk about? My guess is, you'd want to recall some pleasant things from your past which give you strength now, some things you worry about in today's world, and about how you could make things better if you were in charge. Well, that's what I've tried to do in this book of essays. Some of them are of the tongue-in-cheek, twinkle-in-the eye variety. Some are dead serious. You'll have to decide which is which.
