This book is a compilation of thoughts, beliefs, and philosophies of an older writer, experienced, no longer trying to discover but rather trying to refine who he is. Educational degrees, professional endeavors, and life experiences are in place. His many failures and successes have been analyzed. He has plenty of time to write.
Being older, however, he does wonder if he is becoming a curmudgeon, unwilling to bend, not wanting to change, not willing to learn anything new.
The author's words create a document that is at the same time provocative and endearing.
