Описание:

In this potpourri of humorous, sometimes outrageous episodes involving actors, travelers, storytellers, madmen, hikers, hippies, flappers, boyfriends, cookies, castles, and credit cards, good intentions backfire. In The Livin' Doll, a dramatic senior lady joyfully entertains and engages a young girl, reliving her years as an actress, until she has a coiffure malfunction. Sixth grade boys believe they are too old for stories until the Storyteller turns into a witch with a fearsome cackle. Hippie Girls searching for Paradise in Hawaii instead meet madmen and steep inclines. A flapper generously trims the neckline of her dress and becomes Like Clara, the "It Girl" to catch a good-lookin' man at a dance, who turns out to be a mama's boy. An old woman goes in search of an elusive Almond Cookie in Chinatown, like the one she had 20 years ago and forgets where she parked her car. An elderly conscientious gent faces insomnia and unsympathetic groans from his dog as he tries to resolve the case of his compromised credit card. All the stories are based on true experiences. Don't say I didn't warn you...

Описание:

What's it all about, anyway? Let's be honest; admit it: "Most of what we set out to do never meets our expectations." This concept may not satisfy the perfectionist; but, then what does? People never make mistakes... intentionally. An honest mistake is as good as no mistake at all, right? No one intends to blunder. In youth, we blame our errors on 'lack of experience'. As senior citizens, we package our bloopers as 'senior moments'. In between times, we tend to call it 'fate'. But...creating causes just diffuses reality and how we handle what actually happens. Life is what it is and things are just what they are; why label them? The journey can't be codified. It's a bumpy trek Of course, we have choices when we encounter a conflict: we can give up, run away, push through, pray, or even change our perspective; for relief, we can laugh at this 'comedy of errors'. If you see yourself in any of these scenarios, please have a few laughs on me.

Arlene Cohen has lived a live punctuated by acute moments of disbelief -- raw material for stories, where fact drifts into fiction for an entertaining and amusing, sometimes startling read. Wander into tales about the making of a starlet, an encounter with sassy 6th graders, an angel greeting, a woman on the run, a visit from a madman, hippie trippin' time in paradise, a stubborn ascent on a crumbling lava cliff, a never-say-die "It Girl," a very strange date, getting lost in Chinatown, going back in time, and a relentless case of insomnia.
