This collection of short stories encompasses the years from 1990 to 2014. Nearly a quarter of a century in the making, these stories show the literary and emotional growth of a man from a teenage boy to a middle-aged father of four. Some of the stories are good for a chuckle, and some are there to give pause. Either way, the author truly hopes that these little stories take the reader out of the hectic river of life and allows them to cool their feet in the much-slower stream of fiction.
