This is my first non-art, non-fiction book. It’s a little book (7″ x 7″) available through Blurb.com. The book summaries forty plus years of wisdom I’ve borrowed, evolved, and stolen from a large number of sources. It’s meant to be an informal guide to THINGS THAT WORK in everyday communication, especially with couples. The acronyms and phrases are simple, some merely “common sense” (which seems to disappear in daily communication), and some you may not have heard before.
Send me more and I’ll credit you in Book II.

At the end all four sections of the “corpse”are revealed! Mon Dieu, nous sommes des génies!

As a recovering hippie who reads The Wall Street Journal (apparently there are a few of us out here), I felt one perspective was missing from the Ted Nugent discussion (Letters, July 14). Read More »
