Dammit!: A Book of Short Stories, Musings and Commentaries to Make You Laugh and Cry (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781771436199)

The title of this book isn't a philosophical masterpiece; it's more like a loud shout in a library - unexpected, maybe a little scandalous, but oh so relatable! It captures those times when we're all ready to throw our hands up and let out a hearty "Dammit!" You know, like when you stub your toe on the coffee table or step in a puddle while wearing socks (the ultimate betrayal!).

In a world where everything seems to be a crime against humanity - even enjoying pineapple on pizza - this book is a hilarious reflection of life's rollercoaster. We've all had those laughable moments that end with a dramatic flair, right? So, to anyone cringing at the title, I'm not sorry! I said it! I wrote it! And I'm as proud as a cat that just knocked something off a shelf!

The stories "The Devil You Say," "The Medium," and "The Cemetery" are like a mystery box - one where you might find a pair of socks, a rubber chicken, or a lingering question about your life choices.

In "What Did You Say," you 'll follow a character who navigates the delightful chaos of growing old, which is basically like trying to put together IKEA furniture without the instructions - frustrating and ultimately not worth it!

"Moving Again" and "Goof" are perfect if you despise moving or have a passion for golf. Spoiler alert: the golf ball will always end up in a bush, and moving will remind you why you swore you 'd never do it again... until someone offers you pizza.

Then there are "Love" and "Love Too," which will have you feeling all the feelings like when you see your ex at the grocery store and must dodge the cereal aisle like it's a scene from a heist movie.

Lastly, in "Pandemic," Tom shares his thoughts on COVID-19, reminding us all that social distancing is just an unplanned introvert convention. And don't you dare forget the jokes sprinkled throughout - because sometimes laughter is the only thing that can help you forget where you left your glasses (hint: they're on your head).

Dammit, put down your snack, stop scrolling, and buy the book! Your future self will thank you (and probably high-five you accidentally from across the room).
