This humorous memoir takes readers on a nostalgic journey through the author's childhood, exploring a series of amusing and relatable experiences that defined the 70s and 80s. The author recounts tales of the mythical “permanent record” in school, the joys and hardships of camping in a camper shell, the unexpected thrill of typing class with heavy metal music, the awkwardness of church plays, the ultimate organization tool of Trapper Keepers, the competitive spirit of foosball nights at the youth center, and the emotional rollercoaster of witnessing Ultraman's near-death experience. The author also offers a passionate defense of NECCO wafers and reflects on the beloved shows of public television, highlighting the impact of Sesame Street, The Electric Company, and ZOOM. Finally, the memoir delves into the world of breakfast cereals, from the sugary charm of Captain Crunch to the controversial appeal of Rice Krispies. Comparable works include Erma Bombeck, Dave Barry

I was born in Akron, Ohio in 1964, and I grew up between the suburb of Stow and the college town of Kent. My interest in writing started at a very early age, and I had my first professional publication at age 16. Poetry was my original focus, and I was fortunate enough to participate in an early web-based critiquing group called The Alsop Review. In my 20s, I had a number of poems published in literary magazines and poetry websites. I later shifted to humor essays, and I had the honor of seeing my pieces placed inside gourmet coffee cans. I wrote thousands of informative articles for WiseGEEK.com and other content sites. I was also part of the original team for BestReviews, a consumer product review company. Most recently, I wrote Associated Press-level articles for Media Decision and Wealth of Geeks, and I've also started my own publishing company, with 16 titles currently listed on Amazon.

I currently live in the Deep South (Alabama), with my wife Amy and our three cats: Natchez, Pippin, and Sir. I'm the organist for a small Methodist church, and in my spare time I enjoy singing karaoke, watching obscure movies, and creating videos . My titles can be found on Amazon, BarnesandNoble, BooksAMillion, and numerous ebook-only sites. I also publish humor essays and poetry created by Kevin Lawson and Elliot Kent.
