The second collection of personal essays from award-winning and nationally-published author and essayist Joel Schwartzberg examines a variety of tiny obsessions and observations about modern life through the comic perspective of a remarried dad and pop culture junkie.Thirty-six hysterical, heroic, and haunting short pieces sum up a half-lifetime's worth of experiences that range from relatable and reassuring to funny and fervent, and one extolling a certain 70's pop icon that really depends on how you feel about the guy.

From the Author:
I hope you enjoy the book, filled with memories and musings designed to move, amuse, and engage anyone with a pulse and at least four minutes to kill (which was also my standard for college girlfriends). It's particularly appropriate for parents as well as those challenged by short attention spans because the chapters are short, the thoughts are deep, and -- wait, you're not even paying attention anymore, are you?
-- Joel
