Like the late Will Rogers, Taylor uses no fancy props. This book is the sidewalk in front of the drugstore on Main Street, but never inside the pool hall. These simple tales of everyday life are as refreshing as a lemonade in summer or a paddleboat on a quiet river. Everything is grist for the mill, from bumper stickers to childhood tales. Reese does not let himself be tempted by the foibles of Washington, and, at all times, he disdains using the biting edge.

Taylor Reese sat in our courts as a court reporter for 32 years. When he retired, he elected to put down his own words instead of those of the judges, the lawyers and the litigants. Yes, funny stories occurred in the halls of justice, and some of them are included in his reflections and recollections, but he prefers to write about the everyday bits of humor that are all around us. Life has taken him from the farm to the glitter of New York City, and from the neon of Miami to the quiet of a house tucked away on the side of a North Carolina mountain, but wherever he goes, he listens for the off-beat, the humorous, the bent out of shape.
