Mark Twain once wrote: "I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, most of which never happened." Smart guy, Mark. His dry-humor analysis of the way we take ourselves too seriously, worrying trivial warts until they turn cancerous, eating away our sensitivity to surrounding wonders and our natural zest for life sounded a klaxon-call to my innards. As a result, my common-everday working stuff is driven by two firm beliefs: 1)that we should never take ourselves too seriously: and 2)that everbody needs inspiration to make it through each day's imagined threats and foibles. It's the book Roland's 220,000 radio listening audience and his 120,000 newspaper readers have always wanted--the tales he told on the radio or reported in his column--now a hundred of his best, gathered into one book.

Roland's game plan is to produce one book each year. Thus far, he's succeeded, (check Amazon.com by author for his other titles). The truth is, one book per year may not be enough! Remember, it's a career that Roland is pursuing, and he suffers neither from writer's block or a dearth of ideas.
