About this title

From Publishers Weekly:

Along with ruminating on birth, love, death, etc., Nichols, in this collection of his Fort Worth Star-Telegram columns, discourses with a delightful sense of the absurd on the phenomena and trivia, duties, pleasures and aggravations of life. Claiming to suffer from a "sand-trap" mind, he seeks to organize existence by means of "The List," a never-finished compendium of chores and promises. Abuses peculiar to the telephone, automobile, microwave oven and other so-called conveniences of modern life inspire his most successful sallies. Some of his most effective shafts are directed against "tax simplification" and investment advisers. A hilarious account of what would happen if "The Twelve Days of Christmas" carol were carried out literally is one of the treasures among this lighthearted commentary on the modern scene.
