Random Thoughts of a Stupid Man

This is my first attempt at writing a book. I have always been told I tell a pretty good story so I thought I would try to put it to print. I’ve been told I sometimes master making a short story long and I would like to think I can on occasion make a long story short.

Random Thoughts of a Stupid Man is exactly that: somewhat tongue in cheek at times but definitely random. I call it a memoir with a twist. I have attempted to allow you to wander through my life as I have, ranging from childhood, high school, college, and my experiences as a husband, father, and coach. Along the way, there are several distinct, random thoughts sprinkled amongst the not-so-distinct, random thoughts.

Points of reference include family and marital relations, parenting, and sports from the viewpoint of a player and coach. Being raised in a military family is addressed, along with moving all over the country to my dad’s various duty stations. There are some historical references and points of obscure trivia I have picked up in my travels.

Men that read this book I hope will come away empowered with the ability to also admit that they too are “Stupid Men.” There is no shame in it. The women who read the book I’m hoping it will establish confidence to continue in their quest to train and mold the “Stupid Men” in their lives. We are all trainable, even if only one “smidge” at a time. If any of you do not know the meaning of a “smidge”, contact my wife.
