New excerpt from The Shorter Version---page 80

The famous Danish philosopher Kierkegaard once wrote "During the first period of a man's life, the greatest danger is not to take the risk."
I've always tried to instill in my children to venture out. Always try new things. It doesn't matter if you fail because you tried.
I'm beginning to wonder if any of the great philosopher's had teenage children.
Since birth I have tried everything to motivate my children, to stimulate them. My son is motivated. I'm not sure by what yet, but I'm getting closer. He can be a genius about events in history, or the parts of a gun. He can disassemble and reassemble a gun in record time, even those tiny little screws. But change the sweeper bag, or turn on the dryer, he's brain dead.
I think I'll write a book myself on teenaged motivation. I'll entitle it, "Save Your Breath."

“I have been taking this little book with me to read during my
Chemo therapy treatments. While everyone else in the room is
somber I am able to laugh out loud. Thank you Kathy”

Reviews for "The Shorter Version"

Reviewed by Lois Christensen 7/26/2008
Took it to the grocery store with me to wait on Friend Goldie. Read some of the writes, amazingly lifelike, true and funny. She writes it like it is in real life, amazingly the kids do cause lots of tension in the home, but she handles it great. So does her husband get in troulbe lots of time but explains his way out of it nicely.
It is so rich in truth, concerns, problem solving, a must for all those who like good stories about families.
