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.
