A collection of humorous and sometimes poignant observations, anecdotes, and "reality checks" covering a diversity of topics from the joy of following a school of dolphins dancing in unison on the Neuse River to the emotional conflict a boy feels towards his stern and seemingly cold grandfather. This is a book for all of us who rush through life without stopping to observe and think about the plain truths and realities of living.
