HERE'S WHAT OTHERS SAID:

Paul K. Fox writer for PMEA
"This 368-page paperback is like none other. It's really a diary- a very clever set of short observations or anecdotes, day-by-day experiences of one retiree's first twelve months of "living the dream". He goes on to say, "This one is an easy -to-read resource and a quick glimpse to the ups-and-downs of the first year transitioning post-employment. Buy it and place it next to your easy chair for any random reading moment. It's funny and worth the 18 bucks." Jan. 2021.

Some good advice

The narration is awful. Such a personal account could have really benefited from a personal voice that pronounced words properly. Some good observations from the writer however.
