Moment by moment, tale by tale, we navigate through life's challenges from one adventure to the next. Each moment, although vibrant in our minds, tends to blur creatively, inserting laughter, excitement, accomplishments and tears into our overloaded brain circuits.

What do we do with these arrays of disorder, excitement, achievements and daring escapes? We spin them into yarns of adventures, tales of woes and proud moments to be shared around campfires, family gatherings and table talk get-togethers to delight those captivated by our gift of storytelling.

With each tale told and retold, the creative process grows adding a forgotten epic moment to one adventure and possibly deleting or confusing the timeline or context of the next. Not to worry, it can be more the embellishment of the storyteller that holds the audience attention, not the accuracy of the moment.

You'll find a medley of delightful moments as you peruse through each and every short story contained in this book. Although not a complete depiction of my life's tales to be told, but a very amusing and I hope, inspiring voyage through my many life's misadventures that I have found myself most fortunate to have experienced.

Take this book as an inspiration to chronical your own moments in time for those that know you and for those who will follow you when you are gone. To see you not only as you are, but who you were as you ventured along life's highways and byways.

Happy travels my friends.
