This book is an effort by me to relate to my children how life was when I was growing up. Some of the happenings in this journal may seem a little farfetched, but to the best of my knowledge, they are as true and accurate as I can make them.

I hope this is enjoyed by those whose enjoyment it is intended. I know it's not much to leave to my heirs, but hell, I didn't know I was supposed to leave them anything until the other day. And the only other thing I can leave them is alone.

From one stinker to another...
