Sex, politics, religion. All the taboos of dinner tables worldwide are shared in this collection of award-winning short stories, essays, and poems.Some, are humorous, others poignant, and some make you just wonder.Some might even be true.‘Sex after 60’, worthy of a Dr. Ruth episode, is about well, sex and aging baby boomers (who BTW, thought they invented it). The activity doesn’t go away, necessarily, it just gets more comical.Did you ever wonder about COVID-19 before it was a thing? ‘Is it a Cold, the Flu, or Something Else?’ explores the origin of the Coronavirus.There are stories of Jesus, Christmas, and mackerel snappers.Glancing through the Table of Contents shows the depth of the author’s experiences and wisdom (or confusion).‘All Things Creepy’, ‘Dads Matter’, ‘Tales From the Bedpan’, ‘My Many Firsts’, and 65 other reflections on life in these United States.There is one about chickens.Written in the vein of Mitch Albom, Michael Perry, and Jack Canfield’s ‘Chicken Soup For The Soul’, these quick reads are the perfect thing with a cup of coffee or glass of wine on the porch.Or a soothing salve for a bad day.
