Sitting around with friends, I would usually have an opportunity to bring up one of my stories. Hey, that reminds me of this vacation, that sports road trip, or one of the movies l worked on. Finally, After years of listening, my good friend Brenda blurted out: "Would you just write a....ing book." I've been to 27 countries and have a lot of stories, starting in the spring of 1970. Most of them good. Most of them fun and interesting. Some of them informative. (little bit of tour guide) And alcohol has a part in a "few" of them.
