For many years I have wanted to commit some thoughts to paper and this is a random collection of ideas that have just poured out. Some are true; others are based on fact while the remainder are ideas that just came into my head. Many friends who read my stories have enjoyed them and encouraged me to publish them in a book form. So what you have here is a miscellany or as my Brother in Law described them a box of assorted assortments. I hope that readers will enjoy my deliberations and perhaps smile, recall a similar event in their past or maybe shed a tear. But most of all enjoy.
