Roger Loring shares wisdom gained from years of keen observation about many of the difficult questions we all must answer: why spitting has helped make baseball the slowest game on the planet, how a bill becomes a law, assuming Congress ever actually votes on a bill, why children should give up their textbooks for sports equipment, the importance of pocketknives at Christmas, and much more. He unravels complex issues that have remained unsolved for far too long, such as the role of psychic predictions in society, the value of DNA testing on reality TV, the significance of astrology, and the value of making lists. Proving that nothing is beyond his discerning eye, he explains why auto mechanics are more frightening than clowns and reveals the hidden dangers of political campaigns. But perhaps his most important accomplishment is that he settles, once and for all, the age-old question of why men don't ask for directions.

Belle Isle Books

Filled to the brim with humor and relatable musings, Roger Loring offers his Baby Boomer perspective on a variety of issues: <ul><li>Passing Laws in Congress: There are over 200 committees in Congress. There are conference committees, interim committees, joint committees, sub-committees, and of course, each chamber has a float and a prom committee.</li><li>Growing up in Iowa: Parents in other parts of the country get excited when their child first says "mama" or "dada." In Iowa, parental hearts best faster if a child's first word is "corn." And they feel greatly blessed if the child's first word is "ethanol."</li><li>Social Media: Mark Zuckerberg came up with the idea for Facebook when he was a student at Harvard, proving once and for all that not every student at the prestigious Ivy League college is a dumb jock.</li><li>Connecting with friends: Instead of texting, older people feel sending a note written in cursive is just fine. While younger people may have a bit of an understanding about sending notes, they have absolutely no understanding of cursive.</li><li>Viewing a Picasso Painting: Part of the painting shows various female body parts arranged in such a way that the purpose seems to be to just fill up space. It is not an erotic painting in that-unlike a Playmate of the Month centerfold-it is difficult to recognize the various body parts. I could be completely wrong about all of this and it is a painting of Legos.</li><li>Running a Marathon: When I sit on my porch and walkers come by, I wave and think to myself, better you than me, but when runners come by, I immediately go inside and organize all of my ties by color, width, and type of stains on each.</li></ul>
