Berwyn Rules, is a double entendre, and it is not just about Berwyn. The entire book wrestles with the ambiguity of language and life. Yes, Berwyn is a physical location just west of Chicago, and what we are pointing to mostly is a state of mind, a perspective a belief system that is universal.

Berwyn Rules, illuminates the extraordinary in the ordinary, it identifies, the exceptional in the mundane, and it celebrates the victories in the defeats. It doesn’t so much answer question, as it looks at a multitude of beliefs, and questions the answers we hold as true.

Some may say Berwyn Rules, is irreverent, maybe even shocking. OK, it is intended to first and foremost entertain, and entertain in the most powerful way, by making the reader, think, feel, laugh, and possibly cry. The book is about connection. Connection to a time, a belief, a place, and most of all a way of being that allows for creation, expression, love, challenge, belief, courage, and standing for what you know is right for you.

Yes there is some nostalgia, and the nostalgia is not about what has gone before as much as it is about what is possible today and in the future. Enjoy, the stories, the thoughts the idea. Disagree, (there is a place to send comments near the end of the book) yell, scream, cheer, and celebrate, most importantly get out there and live, and get some on you. Thank you.
