Most of these surprising " short insights and fiction flights" as they are called were culled from the author's 25 years as a columnist for the Mariner newspaper chain. 'Surprising' in that they are nothing like any newspaper columns you've ever seen, some of them purporting to be letters from Heaven, others imaginary flights of fiction, as well as insightful essays and celebrations of fatherhood, life, and the joys of living by the sea. 50 unique, quirky bursts from the imagination of a writer who often has the last laugh and the sharpest take on life as it strangely unfolds here in America. Sometimes hilarious, often profound, occasionally heartwarming.
