There's no end to the things that terrify Homer Feltz: tinfoil, fast food, his shopaholic Aunt Mandy. Only his father, manager of a disastrously bad major-league team, seems to understand him, and offers him any refuge from a world quickly becoming too big, too grown-up, and too crowded with everyday horrors for Homer to manage.

I truly believe Joe is even better than his father when it comes to the short stories. I haven't come across one I haven't enjoyed yet.

I loved this story!
This is straight forward story telling at its best. I loved everything about this story.
It's oddly hopeful.
