"The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity. Godlike he blandly assumes that he can express everything in words; whereas the things one loves, lives, and dies for are not, in the last analysis completely expressible in words." --- Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Late Night Musings - the book

As many of you know, during the past few years I have been writing a blog, www.latenightmusings.com . Since I started I have written over 300 entries or musings. I had no idea I'd be so prolific, or wordy if you prefer. I think the topics have been rather broad, ranging from music to observations about people and life, to love, to the humorous in life. When I hit the 150 mark, I had an idea of making a book from some of the entries. It took more than a year but I have just self-published my book, Late Night Musings. It is a compilation of about 100 of what I consider the best of my earlier, which no longer are online.

I thought that you, or someone you know, might be interested in purchasing a copy of the book. I have no delusions of having a top seller, becoming rich from it or making an appearance on Oprah's show. Rather this is just my way to share some thoughts with you, the reader. The book can be found at Amazon and Barnes & Noble (at a lower price), specifically at:

Whether you opt to buy the book or not, I would ask you to please let others know about the book For that, I thank you sincerely.

LATE NIGHT MUSINGS Summary

The wise know that life is not a singular thing; it has many facets. There is family and friends as well as life and death, good and bad, thoughtful and thoughtless, serious and frivolous. However, the rush of daily life doesn’t allow much time to sit back and really think about such matters.

Now past his working years, the author reflects on life and has captured his findings in thoughtful essays. These essays, now not available online, are a collection of some of the best offerings from the author’s blog, latenightmusings.com. In them the author considers the wonders of life and well as its trials and tribulations. The words, ideas, and thoughts may not seem profound or novel at first glance, but once read, they strike home. In some cases the musings suggest conclusions, while in others they simply recognize that living life doesn’t mean there are good answers for all we experience.

With over one hundred beautiful, thought provoking and sometimes humorous pieces or musings in this book, it becomes a refreshing breath of fresh air and a pleasure for those seniors who have experienced life and know what is important in living it. They should also give the younger reader a leg up on living their lives. There is definitely something for those of all ages who are ready to smile, laugh, reminisce, feel, learn and celebrate.

The reader is invited to enjoy the book at their own pace. It can be consumed in one fantastic feast or savored one bite at a time. The menu is varied enough to satisfy everyone’s taste. Come and enjoy – bon appétit.
