In his first book Mr. Schneider combines his self-effacing narrative style with insights and observations from his blog and magazine articles spanning 50 years of travel adventure and family. He describes with equal verve an eclectic mix of adventures from sailboat racing surviving a SCUBA diving accident baby-sitting whales hunting sunken moon rockets in the Everglades and stumbling through Europe to enjoying a high school football game and cleaning out his doo-dad drawers. What emerges is a deep fascination with- and clear love of- friendsfamily and the world around us.
