About four years ago, I was walking along a boardwalk that helps park goers traverse a beautiful floodplain in one of our city's metro parks. I was watching where I was stepping and not paying attention to my surroundings. For some reason, I stopped looking down and I looked to my left.

This book is my take on the human scene through commentaries, short to long, humorous to poignant. The prince and the pauper, political correctness, and non-political correctness are grist for my mill. No one and nothing is spared my alleged wit and pseudo-wisdom.
