Poor Lofdoc's Almanac

A Humble And Grateful Confession! Many Months Ago When I Had Completed And Had Published My Third Book Lofdoc'S Stories: Short And Sweet With The Subtitle An Octogenarian'S Oracles I Was Asked The Question Will This Your Third Book Be Your Final Contribution To The World Of Literature? I Responded By Saying I Would Love To Continue Exploring New Vistas But The Laws Of Nature Will Always Have The Final Say; After All I Am Eighty-Nine Years Old. Well Now The Rest Of The Story. I Guess I Am No Different Than Anyone Else; After All We Are All Birds Of A Feather Are We Not? When The Mountain Climber Was Asked Why Do You Climb Mountains? His Answer Was Because It Is There. And So It Is With Me. I Write Because I Am Still Here. But I Confess That I Reverently Hope That I Would Still Be Around To Continue To Tell You The Rest Of My Stories. So Yes Dear Reader I Have Poured Many Hours Of Pure Joy Into This My Fourth Book. There Are Stories Titled Crying Out In The Wilderness The Ten Armed Swimmer Quackery The Sand Dollar Treasures Of A Nursing Home Etc. I Have Tried To Be Accurate Sincere And Entertaining. I Have Given You A New World Of Thoughts And Remembrances That You Will Hopefully Embrace And Enjoy. I Sincerely Believe This My Fourth Volume Represents The Best Of All My Lifetime Literary Efforts. I Hope You Will Embrace And Enjoy My Little Stories As Much As I Have Loved Writing Them. I Now Give You Lofdoc'S Fourth Book. Oh By The Way Perhaps You Might Want To Know About My Use Of The Name Lofdoc As My Pseudonym. No Secret. I Love Fishing So Lots Of Fishing Doc. Yes I Am A Retired Doctor Of Medicine. I Had Practiced Medicine (Solo) For Over Thirty Years In Ohio. I Now Devote Most Of My Time Caring For My Medically Wounded Angel My Wife Of Sixty-Five Years. Andrew Opritza Md Facp
