Up, Up, and Away (And Into the Future)

Keith Nevill has just returned from Downtown San Francisco after another fruitless job interview. On impulse he pulls up to the curb and parks in front of an Irish tavern out in the avenues. After all, it is still St. Patrick's week, and he feels he can use a little fortification before he encounters the landlady, who is threatening to evict him from his single room because he is several months in arrears of rent payments. What happens then inside the tavern is so unexpected and totally out of reality that one could find it unbelievable had one not been witness to the events.

Keith had prepared himself well prior to entering the ''real world.'' He was highly educated; he was recruited after graduation by a Silicon Valley giant in the semiconductor industry. Unfortunately during the dot-com recession, his company did not fare well, and he was one of many let go. So how did he go from there to where he ended up many years later? Read on, dear reader.
