The idea for this book came from some dark secrets that I learned during my boyhood. Most of the people whose secrets they were are now dead - not entirely a bad thing for some of them. But my memories live on. Names have of course been changed to pro ...more |

This book starts slowly with a bunch of juvenile pranks of the type seen in middle school as a homeowner and a tenant clash. This goes on for about the first third. I almost tossed the book aside but I'm glad I didn’t. Action ramps up and suddenly it' ...more |

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.”
― Collected Poems and Translations

And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.”
