Look through any neighborhood, pick out any random country farmhouse, search through any military barracks, screen any school enrollment sheet and you can find them-"closet" poets! They scribble their innermost thoughts down in notebooks, on envelopes, even on napkins and then stash them away in secret places! Why? Because those sentiments are a part of them-a part they want to recall later, whenever they feel the need to relive those treasured moments, recapture the emotions, and savor those extraordinary experiences again. Such poetry runs the gamut from horrendous to brilliant, but that does not matter. The quality of the work is unimportant! What is important is that someone out there has chosen the written word to create a literary "painting" that tries to capture a moment in time and space to save it for posterity. You May Think Life Stinks But It Could Be Verse is a collection of one man's meandering psyche. It contains a lot of chaff but an occasional precious kernel of wheat can be found that can be useful in nourishing the reader's psyche as well. Read, enjoy, and let the critics do the analysis!

Enjoy these stand-alone short stories about a boy growing up in an Idaho farm town in mid-century. See how that town influenced its younger citizens and prepared them for life outside of its influence. Enjoy the humor, love and attitude that could only have come from small-town America during an era that is no more. It was a time before animals had rights-before anything political was correct-and before thick skins became thin. It was a time of slide rules, hula-hoops, and church keys. It was a time when candy bars were big and the national debt was small. It was a time when first date, first kiss, and first time occurred on three different nights. Close your eyes and pick a story or read them in order. Jog your memory or make a new one. It doesn't matter. These stories will move you!

See the world through the eyes of a sailor or perhaps just trigger lost memories from events in your own naval history. Let Beyond Aberdeen: A Bluejacket Diary tell you how a farm boy from Idaho gave up the life he knew for the promise of service, travel, and adventure as an electronics technician in the United States Navy! Watch as maturity, responsibility, and the legacy of a small town upbringing all work together to turn a boy into a man!
