Weekend Chuckles In A Patchwork Of Tiny Jests
A collage of humorous vignettes from daily life includes a mother teaching thrift with an ice cream dime, a lazy man Eph Williker testing rock directions, a lunch meeting about taxes and family, a joke about a scoreless game, and a memory trickster Indian in Albuquerque. The pieces mix quips about bravery, aging, vanity, parole, and parenting into lighthearted anecdotes.
