Memoirs of a Geezer: (Mostly Amusing Tales and Reflections... Hanging onto Life!)

By Joel Kriofske

Introduction As we human beings become, in a manner of speaking, our "composite selves," with values and attitudes reasonably well established, many of us tend to examine the trajectory of our lives, our accomplishments, successes and failures, where we've been and where we're headed. In what I like to call my "GeezerHood," happily still among the living and having reached a certain age, I started writing down certain reflections, on a monthly basis, a "blog," to use the parlance of today's computer and internet age. Following the accepted definition, "Memoirs of a Geezer" is indeed informal and conversational, a series of thoughts and recollections, complete with characters, creatures and, at times, a few questions. Attempting to mirror shared experiences, in a way to empathize with a wide audience of possible adherents, kindred spirits and potential readers, the objective of the blog began and remains, for the most part, a means of offering a light-hearted and humorous look at life's adventures -- small and large -- at our own absurdities and imperfections, in an effort to suggest, "Hey, that's me," or, "I had that same reaction," or, "Holy cow, I've been there too..." Presented herein, "Memoirs of a Geezer," a book that consists (at the moment) of 39 postings or episodes, with, I hope, many more to follow... no promises, of course. Life has a way of scything through its dense thickets with little or no regard for human direction or intervention! Experiences and events are presented truthfully (mainly), with an aim toward universality, meaning any of it could happen, or has happened, to any one of us who inhabit the mortal sphere.
