Simpleman

<p>No man is that simple.</p><p>Ronald Simpleman is not about to take the fall for the faults of the fathers. He may be a pansy but he's no patsy. While his conscience has been in full-blown crisis mode for three quarters of a century this self-exiled hermit feels like it might be finally safe to ease out of hiding.</p><p>Misguided in childhood through the faults of his father just as his grandfather had misled his dad Simpleman has been burdened by secrets he's lugged around since he was a kid. Lying low as a recluse on family acreage clinging to the sloped outskirts of Crested Butte he has managed to outlive ten presidents and-at least so far-outsmart those who might be after him.</p><p>Now with what might be his final winter upon him and too little time left to expunge his guilt-ridden soul Simpleman believes he just might get away scot-free as he begins to round up his closeted skeletons for the short trip to his final resting place in the Simpleman Family plot.</p>
