Told in a compilation of essays and poems, this book encapsulates one man's journey- and the quest of each of us-to become the very best person possible in the years and months we have left. The goal is to become SanViejo (Saint Old Guy), or the feminine version SantaVieja. Along the road there are profound realizations: Forgiveness was invented because it had to be. The season of Spring is a bacchanalia, a drunken sailor three sheets to the wind, bent on procreation even at the cost of one's life. The vast universe is finite, although expanding, and you are the owner of the part you stand on. And if evolution is outlawed, only outlaws will evolve. This book will have you pondering the infinite one moment, and howling out loud with laughter the next. He will tell you about the All Pretty Girl Orchestra in Manila and the heartbreak of turning into a werewolf. He was on the barricades in Moscow when Gorbachev was kidnapped and communism crumbled. He took one for the team, getting kissed on the mouth by the Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Kazakhstan. In a thoroughly engaging style that is part astute observer and part gonzo, Larry Moffitt slowly closes in on his own perfection, while remaining gloriously, spectacularly flawed.

Larry Moffitt was raised an "oil brat" in the geology states, changing schools every year or two. You can fight your way into a new school or be funny. Larry was a runt, and bully fodder, so he chose the latter. When it rained during recess, the other kids would beg the teacher to let Larry tell stories. He has been a spiritual seeker since childhood and that became the base for his lifelong affinity for universal principles of truth and love adhered to by all the great faith traditions. He has been a shoeshine boy, farmer, writer, beekeeper, radio disc jockey, standup comic, newspaper and wire service executive, and an evocative poet. His affiliations with mass communication and non-profit organizations, have enabled him to visit scores of countries, including North Korea (twice). In 1979, Rev. Sun Myung Moon suggested the former Taeko Sonoda of Yatsushiro in Kumamoto Japan would be a good wife for Larry. They both agreed and were blessed in holy marriage on July 1, 1982. It's been a wild ride and they have five amazing children, all grown and doing interesting things.
