His wry wit is charming and perhaps will even bring a few tears to your eyes as you think back to times in your life when you may have gone through some of the same trials and tribulations. A relatively short, fast reading book, I would easily liken it to Robert Fulghum's wonderful works.

If you enjoy looking at life with a sense of fun and knowing that without humor we probably wouldn't make it through the daily rat race, then I think you'll enjoy this book.
