About the Book

Guess I'll Go Eat Worms - Maybe is a commentary on growing up and growing old in a modern western society. This writing explicates some of Phillip Anthony Dalon's life's journey, and how and why we all change our perspectives and opinions as we make this constantly changing voyage. It admittedly steps on a lot of toes, but if taken in its entirety, it may make sense to those with an open mind. Phillip's work experience includes: dishwasher, waiter, short order cook, heavy equipment operator, truck driver, ordinance supply clerk, civil engineering technologist, surveyor, civil engineering designer, draftsman/site planner, construction coordinator, construction engineer/project manager with a large, multinational corporation, licensed general contractor, and licensed home inspector. It is undeniable that he has vast experience with the subject matter.

About the Author

Phillip Anthony Dalon was born in 1942, into abject poverty and raised in the slums of a large southern city. Around thirteen years old, he was shot in the back; later, around 15, he was beaten mercilessly by a mob, and at twenty, he was stabbed in the side. He is a veteran of the US Army and served overseas in Hanau, Germany. He has undergone three surgeries on his arteries. He lost half of his left lung but survived lung cancer in his early seventies. Dalon has a bovine aortic heart valve replacement, a Pacemaker, and a Watchman implant.

Dalon obtained a patent for a tool in 2003 and published ClanWickie, a full-length children's adventure novel in 2011. For all of his trials and tribulations, he has been blessed with a beautiful wife, four grown children, and seven grandchildren. He and his wife, Faye, have the retirement home of their dreams in a country setting with mountain views. They happily cohabit with their little dog, Ellie.
