The curious reader will enjoy each story, and the less familiar the reader is with  the story’s subject, the more the reader should enjoy the story. Each story is well researched with a few surprising revelations.

          These stories have been divided into four sections:

          Section I contains stories of events in the author’s life, but they are made entertaining by the interesting people that he knew personally – a woman who married based on IQ, a man who expected to die but became scared when he thought he might not.

          Section II has stories that the author thought interesting at a cursory level but after his research he found there was much more to be told – a business associate deliberately driven insane, and misconceptions about living in earlier times.

          Section III is a collection of observations and how disparate events affected other people – in some cases in the past, in other cases in the future – such as the public viewing of a drowning, measuring modesty, and why robots are digital; humans are analog.

          Section IV outlines the complications of social networking and the twists and turns of relationships. These stories involve subjects from the first pin-up girl and the general performing arts, to bank robbery and murder.
