Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Most of this material was written by the author during the sixties to roaring nineties. Some of the attitudes presented may have been influenced by John Gray's Men Are from Mars Women Are from Venus. The material was collected, rewritten, and collated during the period 2011-2020. The enterprise of collecting the material was prolonged by a stint on the Saskatchewan School Boards Association board of directors, including several years as the Urban Public representative and three years as president of the association. The major stumbling block was a series of life-threatening health conditions. Most of them were complications from a long battle with an early onset of type 2 diabetes. The collection is a miscellany of contradictions from gentle family material to adult situations galore. Adultery, stalking, and men who can't keep their johnson in their pants meet women who welcome their advances and many who don't. It's all meant to be good fun. Life is more worth living if we don't take ourselves or anybody else too seriously. Some of us have too many Neanderthal genes and others don't have enough. Classifying ourselves is so last century. Welcome to the world of Homo sapiens. The human race, better than a marathon, and everyone is a winner.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book does not follow the customary organizational patterns of writing. It is not totally chronological, and it is not totally topical. It is a hybrid. It begins with the history of my parents and our core family from my vantage point. It moves then to my memories of childhood through college. From there, it becomes topical in that it is written in short stories about meaningful events. Because it is written in topical short stories, there are occurrences of overlaps, which was done for clarity of detail of the memoir. There are three entries not authored by me. One from my sister who is now deceased, one from my eldest sibling, and one from my niece, Leslie (the daughter of my third brother-now deceased). It ends with some items from a collection of artifacts.Once I started writing this book, I realized that to write only about the history of our family would not be enough. It is necessary that the oversight and guiding hand of the Lord be seamlessly acknowledged throughout.I do hope you will enjoy it.…
