In his first book, Mr. Schneider combines his self-effacing narrative style with insights and observations from his blog and magazine articles spanning 50 years of travel, adventure, and family. He describes with equal verve an eclectic mix of adventures from sailboat racing, surviving a SCUBA diving accident, baby-sitting whales, hunting sunken moon rockets in the Everglades and stumbling through Europe, to enjoying a high school football game and cleaning out his "doo-dad drawers."
What emerges is a deep fascination with- and clear love of- friends,family, and the world around us.
