A Telling Experience

The book title A Telling Experience has a double meaning: 1) something curious that you were part of and 2) the sharing of your particular story. An experience becomes even more meaningful by being told. The thing may be familiar or it may be as strange as The Twilight Zone (but true). The idea of this book is that everybodys life is somehow a Tall Tale. This book is my Tall Tale; my ordinary strange telling experience: A bewildered youth a bumbling smitten young adult a middle-age striver finally a would-be philosopher. Its a wild ride. Youll laugh your head off and cry your eyes out I promise! Its a bizarre collection every chapter a story of its own and every story a very Tall Tale! Each story is somehow like your own story and like everybody elses too. Were all in the same boat all on the same train. Thats a comforting thought. Misery loves company and so does joy.Richard M.
