I'm on a Serious Roll and I Want Your Help

My funnest project yet...and it's a race against time

I’ve got a book project rolling so fast it might just flatten the speed bumps of doubt—and this one’s not just close to my heart... it’s close to my funny bone.

This is the most fun I’ve had writing in a long time, and I think you’re going to love it too. If you’ve chuckled (or snorted) at Getting Old Is a Hoot or nodded along with My Give-a-Darn’s Busted, then this next book is right in that same quirky, honest, and slightly sassy lane.

It’s a book for folks who know the aches, joys, ironies, and wisdom that come with a little silver in the hair (or a complete lack of it). It pokes at modern life through the eyes of someone who remembers when “streaming” meant a creek out back and a remote was something you were, not something you lost in the couch cushions.

👉 To give you a feel for where it’s headed, here’s a link to the first article that inspired the book:

But now—I need your help.

I’ve got five possible titles that I’m seriously torn between, and since this whole project is about community, laughter, and perspective, it only feels right to let you in on the fun.

Here are the five title contenders:

1. Getting Old Is a Hoot

   Subtitle: And Other Thoughts from the Porch Swing of Life

2. Wrinkles, Wisdom, and Waffles for Dinner

   Subtitle: Laughter, and the Joy of Getting Older

3. Elastic Waistbands and Other Miracles

   Subtitle: Why Getting Older Might Just Be the Best Joke Yet

4. Senior Moments and Other Great Adventures

   Subtitle: Well-Lived, One Forgrtful Day at a Time

5. The Nap is Calling, and I Must Go

   Subtitle: A Gentleman’s Guide to Growing Older Without Growing Up

I’ll tally up the votes and let you know the winner soon—and if you include a note, who knows… your name might even end up in the book somewhere (in a good way).

Thanks for being part of this ride—I’ll keep steamrolling forward, but it sure means a lot to know you're cheering me on from the sidewalk.
