Opis

"You see, with Dad there was very little warning, if any at all. As I have said countless times before, while Dad was serving in Korea, he must have also trained as a Ninja warrior. He could take his belt off, whoop us and have his belt back on and buckled before we had a chance to cry. Just scant seconds before Dad pounced on me like a bobcat on a mule carcass; I threw up the white flag. At that moment I would have been willing to get up from the table and walk the seven miles to the barber. Without striking a single blow Dad made his point and got his desired results. Now, that is talent." A compilation of witty short stories written by Tony Windsor as they appear in his weekly newspaper column. Tony's son, Aaron Windsor, decided to pull together over 90 of his father's columns and develop this book. In what might be considered "Wonder Years" meets "The Waltons," Tony has chronicled moments in his life that everyone can identify with and feel an intricate part of. More than a "walk down memory lane," this book will transport people of any age back to a time in their own lives that will be sure to result in a smile, giggle, or out and out laughter. Each story stands on its own and provides short, but extremely detailed accounts of events that are sometimes hilarious, sometimes sobering, but always extraordinarily entertaining. Read it to yourself, read it out loud, just read it and enjoy
