You are sure to discover something in these tales - about yourself, your friends and relatives - perhaps even a favorite pet. They are all tall and true - as Chuck Thurston describes them. Originally published as newspaper columns in a number of small dailies, Thurston has unearthed this collection for first time book publication. A senior himself, he understands and empathizes with his cohort as we all march into maturity carrying our memories and recollections - sometimes with dignity, and often laced with a little silliness that helps us get through our golden years. There is plenty of humor here, and a little nostalgia; perhaps even a bit of wisdom that the author claims he probably doesn't deserve, but will gratefully accept. Thurston wants those sneaking up on his age, or growing apace with him, to read and say Gee -- I have been through that too...I know just how that feels! These tales aren't just for the over the hill crowd by any means, though. Younger readers may gain some insight into what makes the inhabitants of wrinkle city (as one of his granddaughters so elegantly put it once) think and do the way they do. Thurston doesn't grind any political, religious or philosophical axes, and advises readers looking for stern opinions on those topics to get their feathers ruffled elsewhere. He may, though, ponder at the ironies of the universe. Read these Scribbles, and you may be pondering with him.
