Printed in large 14 point type.

Life is what's happening while you're busy doing other things.

This book is a gathering of bits and pieces of my own life. I tried to live it in a way to maximize enjoyment and minimize regrets. I lived deeply every day learning to love life and little children, to laugh a lot, mostly at myself and to enjoy living.

I offer it to you in a collection of short stories intended to entertain, to give pause to remember and maybe to contemplate your own future.

Wealth is not measured in gold or by how many mourn when you die. True riches are the number of people along the way who are glad you lived at all. Don't take yourself too seriously. Enjoy!
