This book is an alphabetical collection of thoughts, memories, ideas, opinions and observations from an average small-town guy who survived the cold war, the polio epidemic, chicken pox, measles, mumps, broken bones, drinking water out of a garden hose, nuclear war drills, an older sister, playing in the street, speeding, underage drinking, riding a bike without a helmet, dog bites, cat scratches, skiing in the fog, driving on icy roads in winter blizzards, corporal punishment, harsh winters in Montana, living for two months in a submarine, flying Navy jets from an aircraft carrier, raising two sons and forty-nine years (at the time of this typing) of marriage.........to the same woman!
