Tis the season to hand out some gifts……. Remember it is better to give then to receive, at least that is what I have heard.

For my Daughter Mary Kate……..A very expensive pair of Ray Bans to help her to cut through the scintillation that is Los Angeles.

To Kim Jong-un………A missle up his ass.

To my Dad…… One more opportunity to sit with me next fall and watch your grand daughter play field hockey on a majestic Indian Summer  day.

To Keith Schiller……. A merit badge for honoring his code of silence.

For all haters …….A wee bit of understanding for the opposite point of view.

To Judy Garland ……. A one way plane ticket to Oz, with a layover in St. Louis

To God and the Devil…….. A teeter totter of their very own.

To all the souls who occupied my body in the prior lives…….The Medal of Valor for service beyond the call of duty.

To Harry Catchitore wherever you are……Peace, happiness, a good bottle of bubbly, and a new address.

As for myself……  Another year of appreciating how much I have while I continue to strive for the things that seem impossible to obtain.

One Magical Christmas round about 1975 I saw two of my favorite crooners , Bing Crosby and David Bowie sing a duet of Little Drummer Boy on the telly……. I haven’t been able to listen to another Christmas song since.

In the spirit of the season I sent a list to Santa two weeks ago. Tomorrow morning I hope everyone finds what they have been asking for under their tree.

The stories in this book are inspired by people and events that have brushed against the author. Rich has labels this work as fiction, but claims the authenticity of each chapter ranges from 90% to 100% in accuracy. Although in some instances names have been changed, the characters live or have lived and are not his original creation.

Each chapter is told in two parts. The first parts are told mostly as stories, while the trailers are reflections that offer the reader an opportunity to a backstage view behind Rich’s introspections. The music lyrics that introduce each chapter serve as a linkage between the verse of the chapter and the inspiration of the author.
