Award-winning humorist and radio personality David Bouchier has been called "The H.L. Mencken of the subdivisions." He applies his satirical wit, wisdom, and a touch of philosophy to the everyday dramas of suburban life. In this second collection of essays, originally broadcast on National Public Radio stations WSHU and WSUF in Long Island and Connecticut, he explores and explains such quintessentially suburban themes as: the the trauma of an empty driveway; romance in the catering hall; a visit from the exterminator; the metaphysics of golf; and the lament of the suburban commuter.

David Bouchier brings humor and insight to the oddities and puzzles of everyday life, from wine labels to meditation and yard sales. These entertaining commentaries were first broadcast on public radio stations in Long Island and Connecticut (91.1 FM WSHU and 89.9 FM WSUF), where Bouchier's quirky sense of humor has made him the best-known public radio personality in the region. He also hosts a popular classical music program, "Sunday Matinee," on the same stations.
