About the Book:
Life can be full of frustrations. These might not happen daily, but then again, something frustrating might block your path to bliss more than once in a single day. Finding ways to make light of these annoyances, mining the nuggets of humor in these situations, can file the edge off these trouble spots and keep your life from going off the rails. Ride along as retired journalist Greg Peck recounts examples in a life filled with irritations and pratfalls on the road and in the wild but especially at home.

My Review:
We all have moments when we feel caught in a giant spiral spinning daily events out of our control. How we react is what character is all about. Greg Peck is quite a character! From keeping a frozen snake in his mom’s refrigerator for show and tell, to the squirrel in the living room, to encounters with bears on various hiking and fishing trips, Peck’s humorous essays are a peek into the foibles of contemporary life.

Peck pokes fun at long-time friends and gets as good as he gives when his grandson’s car seat buckles nearly defeat him, and his kids try to help swap sim cards in phones. A dream of owning a fishing boat has unintended consequences. Through all the remodeling, vacations, pet tales, grocery shopping hell, and wisdom of babes, Peck’s 46 tales will resonate with each reader. Recommended for readers of short story personal humor.

About the Author:
Greg Peck spent his career working for three Wisconsin newspapers and won numerous journalism awards. He’s a longtime member and former board member of the Wisconsin Writers Association and in 2017 won the association’s Jade Ring for nonfiction. His previous nonfiction books: Death Beyond the Willows, How a Wedding Day Turned Tragic in America’s Heartland, (2005, republished in 2013) and Memories of Marshall, Ups and Downs of Growing Up in a Small Town (2020).
