I grew up in a small town in Ohio, called Brunswick. No we didn't have computers growing up, but what we did have were books and imagination. We made lifelong friends as we played ball, built forts, camped and fished . We were the neighborhood kids.

Later as I got older, I jumped out of planes, went white water rafting down a few rivers and yes even in a glider plane. I made a career in commercial construction and finally retired from it. Now I just write a little and kayak down a river or two. Always with my faithful friend, Jazz the wonder dog at my side.

This book is a collection of short stories. Just some of my thoughts I put to paper and after a while became a story. A collection of stories that are true that happened to me as well as stories I thought of but all are from the heart as a writer. I can only hope that I made you smile, just a little. Belly laugh out loud, maybe made you think, but most of all, touch your heart. If you get anything out of my writing it is this. That you are never alone no matter how dark the night there will always be light. If you just ask. Cause behind every dark cloud is the sun just achin' to come out. Just saying...
