From the suburban sprawl of 1960s Bloomington, Minnesota, to a stereotypical family farm in western Illinois, to a mid-sized enclave of oil and rusted iron in Ohio, the life journey of Mike Pickett ambles through the last gasp of the Industrial Age and into a digitized world where we imagine ourselves to be different from the thousands of generations that preceded us. These moral-laced stories are full of beauty, joy, struggle, and determination, utilizing the backdrop of some rather unique moments: a chat with Neil Armstrong days after his moon landing, a 30-year feud with Cal Ripken, three hours of vodka lemonades with Arnold Palmer, Alex Trebek toasting his marriage and, a bout of thievery in the Clinton White House.
Through them all, these elegant, ageless tales of transition celebrate family love and sacrifice, forgiveness, and redemption.
