Lessons of Life: Life is a Journey

This book was written as a result of my sister saying one day, “You know that to have lived for over 70 years, we must have learned something! That got me thinking: I was raised in Hawaii – before it was a state; I lived in France for two years as a young man; I have been thrown off a train in Germany in a small town – in the middle of nowhere with no money, and no German language skills; I have been to 16 countries, and about a dozen islands; I taught English on a Greek island for a few weeks – and did so having absolutely no experience as a teacher; and actually had surgeons laughing during a heart procedure. I have been married for 49 years (same woman – poor soul) and have lived from counting quarters to go to McDonalds – to having meals in Paris, Rome – and Athens - -- and then back to McDonalds! You know, I would have to have been a moron not to learn certain things along the way. Now, assuming you are younger than I am – the odds are pretty good that you can learn something from my experiences, and rambling. I actually think you can! You have nothing to lose! Well, $8.99 something, I guess. Heck, you can lose that by buying one greasy hamburger – and a coke that is no good for you anyway. Give me a shot! I’ll bet you will get some laughs, and – who knows – maybe a little insight. Go ahead!
