I began writing this book in 2015, putting together some ruminations and reflections. I slowly added to it over the years: new things I wrote, old things I discovered I had written, some things that other people wrote that made me laugh out loud, or, knocked my socks off.

Autorenporträt
Free-lance writer/author Ralph Ferrusi has sat in the cockpits of three P-51 Mustangs: two "D's" and a "K". He began "seriously" writing in 2004 and though a New York Times Non-selling Author, now has over a half-million words in print. A long-time vegetarian, he has walked the entire 2,179-mile Maine to Georgia Appalachian Trail twice: 4,217 miles. He and his wife Kathy, long-time travelers, have visited 65 countries. They currently reside on Maryland's Eastern Shore, with their rescue-rhinoceros Dora. Just kidding...she prefers "Penelope"
