Slices Of A Life [Hardcover]

Slices of a Life consists of memoirs and meditations---odd, strange, amusing, touching, or otherwise of interest---that readers from all walks and stages of life can enjoy. Although being, to a large extent, a farrago of the author's failings, follies, frailties, foibles, and other folderol and foofaraw, the book nevertheless seeks to demonstrate that this former Midwestern attorney---with a knack for waxing poetic, philosophizing, or poking fun at himself, sometimes in a single breath---is a worthy and meritorious person. Capturing the essence of life---the highs and the lows, the ups and the downs, triumph and defeat, the good, the bad, and the ugly, etc.---in the Midwest (specifically Chicago and its suburbs) over a long period of time, the book expounds on such universal topics as family, youth, friendship, fatherhood, pets, sports, travel, and more.
