I actually did write a book, I’m not sure if I can move forward with the title though. The Million Dollar Da$h was a low estimate of the value of my dash, lol. I’m not sure if it’s even interesting but the main part gets a lot of laughs from almost everyone except my family. Oops. You see, I made a mistake and the “survival instinct” kicked in. (A DUI is a death sentence in my trade) Here’s an actual excerpt from my book. “As I took off into the woods the underbrush grabbed my right shoe and then my left, gone! Finding them in the pitch black would be impossible, the rest of this dash would have to be done in my socks!” I filled the rest of the book in with what I find to be funny, heartbreaking and other interesting tales of an “ordinary” family. Of course I used no names and generic places throughout. The Original Prepper, Dad, gets a lot of pages. Truly one of a kind. Anyway we shall see how it plays out, stashed in my garage or a book and a movie deal. Lol. I choose Woody Harrelson if it goes that far.
Many have told me, I write well and 'blah, blah, blah...you should write a book' and I have tried but... I am just too damn critical of my own writing. Hell, I would never get a book done - well - maybe in 10 years then probably be dead before I could write the sequel! LOL!
They ran through the briars and they ran through brambles and they ran through some places where a rabbit wouldn't go... Or something line that!
One chapter is about Pops always harping on me to wear my jockstrap, even at the swimming pool! When I objected he’d say “just wear it!!!” That must have been a 50’s thing because nobody wore a jockstrap at the pool, nobody.
My dad used to test ride his Maico 400 up and down our alley, Mom called the cops on him because it set a bad example for us kids. He saw the cops, pulled into the garage and shut the door to hide. Mom pointed him out to the cops, lol. It’s in the book. Lol.
