Weaving stories from his life into funny views of America today, Tim O'Shea creates short essays that weave colorful characters, impossible situations and, above all, Tim's determination to find meaning in the simple things in life.
In the overall this is a very funny telling of Tim's encounters with his parents and siblings over a wide range of years. There is an amazing degree of honesty in his telling of the many incidents. Nice to have a son who can use the English language with a flair. Rick O'Shea

I am only a quarter of the way through this book and I LOVE it. I literally laugh out loud at least every other page. He has a wonderful gift for descriptiveness.
a wonderful read

I bought 5 copies of this book and could use 5 more. It is a great book to give as a gift to a friend or favorite family member. Tim's essays and stories really hit a cord with me and made me smile, something I don't get to do as much as I would like when I am reading. I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next book that he comes out with. I bet he would be a hoot to sit down and have a drink with!
A must-have for Father's Day!

Tim O'Shea is a wonderfully authentic and original comic voice. Self-deprecating to a fault, and relentlessly astute, he sees the absurdities of modern life as clearly as we all wish we did. This book is a great gift, with broad appeal.
