"I remember black and white photography and black and white television before positive color film and color television from living during this history. How can I ever forget using a manual return typewriter I punch the buttons on the keys to move the levers to pound the type set letters onto an ink soiled ribbon and you develop a rhythm to the cadence of typing letters like a sparring partner for Hemingway at the gymnasium and use whiteout like whitewashing a picket fence in a Mark Twain Tom Sawyer story. I remember this because I am born in BC and this is before computers."

Bloodhound Charlie is a story from one of my early childhood memories playing backyard baseball before moving up to the big diamond by the big backstop in the center of town.
Something About Hats is a sequence of stories on the pathway for making this book. The stories I try to improvise and improver from Fly The Flag in red, white, and blue covers.

Icicles is a collection of short stories from going on field trips away from the office, which leads to the next book.
Ball Busters Twenty-one Ten Fore is a story with an episode about swinging the bat in a baseball game at the big backstop in the center of town and another episode meeting Ron Santo, Hall of Fame baseball player, after a baseball game when Ron does the announcing and belts out the Seventh Inning Stretch Song at Wrigley and after the game they talk about a play with legendary Hall of Fame baseball player, Roberto Clemente.
