It is just past noon as you arrive early at the dentist's office for your appointment. Never one to enjoy your stay in that dreaded chair, you hope to get in early and get it over with before heading on to more enjoyable endeavors. Life unfortunately has decided to prolong your agony as you learn that the doctor is "running a little behind" today. "Hmmph", you mutter as you retake your place in the waiting room. Perusing the various magazines that litter the end table, you look for a minor distraction. You brush past the usual news, science and techno-doohickey periodicals and collect the book lying there that has caught your eye. Lightly thumbing through, you discover that it is a collection of various short stories, the perfect answer to while away the moments as you begin to forget about why you're here in the first place. In short order the clinical surroundings have slipped away and you are soon carried away into another's world, now a casual observer into moments strange and new, yet also so familiar. Having easily drifted away, you are soon strolling along beside the author through various comedic or sentimental moments in life. Finishing up a tale of "popcorn thieves" you are now transported to a quiet waterfront pier as the storyteller takes you to ... "Excuse me. I'm so sorry to interrupt but I guess you didn't hear me calling you. You can come on back. The doctor is ready to see you now." Slightly flustered, you find yourself once again back in reality as you follow the receptionist in to that dreaded chair. With a few pangs of guilt, you quietly slip "Snippets of a Life" under your jacket, hoping no one will notice and promising yourself you'll bring it back as soon as you've finished reading. Sound familiar? Relax. You don't need to feel guilty about stealing Dr. P. Sherman's office copy. Simply pick up your own copy and enjoy the tales wherever and whenever you so choose. I would however recommend that you wait until you're in more comfortable surroundings to avoid unpleasant return trips to reality.

El mundo es fascinante, los poetas los vienen diciendo desde hace siglos y tienen razón. Esto no es... Una Guía Turística no es una guía turística, como su nombre indica. Es una celebración de la sorpresa, el absurdo y la fascinación que nos transmiten 21 lugares curiosos del mundo. Son casas encantadas, hoteles imposibles, monolitos modernos, jardines llenos de monstruos, llamas eternas saliendo de la tierra, habitaciones colgadas en las alturas, casas estrechas y, en general, monumentos al imperio de la imaginación. Acompáñanos, querido lector, por un paseo que celebra sitios donde la lógica ha caído, donde la funcionalidad ni se plantea, donde el juego, el ridículo y, a veces, la estupidez humana reina. Puede parecer mentira, puede sonar a cuento, pero no. Todo, todo, lo que leerás aquí es cierto, tan cierto como la biografía autorizada de muchos políticos. Porque este es un mundo extraño y a veces incomprensible, y queremos brindar por ello contigo. Como dijo el gran poeta Ciriano Plubio Nasón "Cuanto más veo, menos entiendo, pero mejor me lo paso". Sobre 21 Lugares Curiosos del Mundo, se ha dicho: "Lo más divertido que me has leído antes de ir a dormir"Descendiente de uno de los autores "Una soberana tontería, de verdad"Fístulo Bajón, Presidente de la Asociación de Tristes y Cenizos"Un libro indispensable"Máximo Acreedor de la editorial. Sobre los autores se cuenta que: Oriol Font i Bassa, descendiente de una larga estirpe de profesionales reconocidos en trabajos respetables, rompió la tradición, primero estudiando cine y después consagrando su vida a las letras y a las conversaciones de bar, lo que le llevará a una larga tortura en el lugar de castigo de alguna de las religiones que hay en el mundo (estadísticamente una u otra tendrá razón). En 2018 publicó su primera novela, Ovejas y Mierda (sí, no es un título de coña, existe), es periodista y director de contenidos de la web www.laisladelosconejos.com Albert Rubio i Costa nació pagano renacido en la cara oculta de la luna, pero al poco la familia se mudó a Santa Coloma de Gramanet, sin apenas notarlo. Estudió con los Jesuitas, se licenció en Filosofía y es Máster en Creación Literaria. Reside con su esposa, dos hijas, una chistera y un conejo blanco, en Vic. No tiene Twitter ni Facebook ni Instagram ni tatuajes visibles, podría estar sentado a tu lado en este mismo instante y no lo sabrías.

How can two almost identical cats be such diametrical opposites of each other yet peacefully co-exist? How do they navigate such a wide chasm of difference without imposing their individuality on one another the way humans do?

With the state of affairs in the world - where "difference" seems to cause so much angst, despair, injustice and unfairness - Lulu and Lucy show us how to peacefully coexist and thrive despite "differences". Readers of picture books will enjoy the inspiration laced with humor of JUMPING ON SHADOWS.

What makes a fairy tale Irregular? Hansel & Gretel's parents refusing to allow the kids to be adopted by fairies because they disapprove of the fairy lifestyle. Rumplestiltskin teaching a young woman to keep her promises. A prince for Rapunzel who never mastered rope climbing in gym class. Tom Thumb's mother refusing to allow him to date the one girl his size because she's Protestant.Not fairy tales for children - although frequentlychildish - Irregular Fairy Tales are much more fun than atrip to the ball, and less expensive too, when you considerhow much interest Fairy Godmothers are charging thesedays.The Ithaca Times says..."The conversations between characters in these stories sometimes recall the deadpan absurdities of Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks (in 'The 2,000-Year-Old Man' and all of their movies.)"..."Teel is at his best when he integrates sound, alabeit only tangentially relevant, logic into these tales in a breezy, off-hand style."... "In 'Hansel and Gretel' (and several other stories) (Teel) wraps up his story in fashion that is...the opposite of the traditional ending, which can be gratifying to those who find cheerfully clever children to be really obnoxious." --The Ithaca Times

If you were born from 1946 - 1964 you're a Boomer. Like it or not. When I turned 60 I realized what it has meant, to us and to the Grandkids. I'm still the same inside and I don't plan on changing.

So, what are we doing differently that really affects out points of view about the world as it is?Somehow, the older I get the more I do things the way I used to.

Take a little time for yourself and see how much you can remember about the simple good times we had. It's a fun read. There's two books available, they are the same, only with the titles reversed.

Il y a des auteurs qu'une préface bien sentie parodie mieux qu'une imitation ou un pastiche. Peut-être parce qu'ils sont inimitables au sens premier du terme. Mais plus sûrement parce que leurs écrits sont déjà en eux-mêmes une forme de parodie et que la lecture d'une ou deux leurs pages, convenablement éclairée par une préface assassine, suffit à produire l'effet comique. La préface, d'ailleurs souvent rédigée par l'auteur lui-même, est traditionnellement un exercice convenu, alternant cuistreries inutiles et flagorneries. Rendons-lui enfin une utilité en présentant les choses telles qu'elles sont. Relevons le goût fade du papier des pages liminaires par une petite pointe de venin. Personne n'en mourra. C'est là tout l'objet de ce petit livre.

My life hasn't changed much since I was four years old, when I donned a pith helmet and wielded a huge paintbrush to paint murals inside my family's garage doors. Later, still brandishing the paintbrush of a fine arts education at Scripps College in California, and the École des Beaux-Arts in Geneva, Switzerland, but now helmeted for world adventures, I began to travel and write stories for U.S. and British publications. I married and produced two patient children, divorced and remarried, then divorced again just for good measure. Over the years, I learned about life from a cat named Dorothy, bit off more than I could chew in France, traveled Fiji with a friend named Slosh, rang church bells in England, joined a poltergeist committee to investigate strange happenings in a Chinatown flophouse, cried when I left the island of Grenada, and really kissed a frog. BOOK REVIEW Reviewed by Gordon D. Durich for Readers' Favorite Theodosia Greene kissed a "frawg" in the Caribbean. The author of Kissing Frogs and Other Short Stories drew inspiration for her book from this memory and other international experiences. Her collection of memories from England, France, Fiji, and other countries is interspersed with highly original graphic illustrations. Her drawings are inspired by formal education enhanced with world travels. Her experiences with foreign languages and customs generated true stories coupled with art. Kissing Frogs and Other Short Stories is a memoir in which travel and art, specifically beautiful and evocative paintings, flavor Theodosia Greene's work. This cannot be categorized as "chick lit," but the title and contents could be easily construed as that. Kissing frogs, or "frawgs," as Theodosia Green called them, may be something girls dream of - to have their prince magically appear as in fairy tales - and may be farfetched. This beautifully laid-out book features a picture of that very experience, which visually makes it easier to grasp and more realistic. As a man, I enjoy reading stories from a female point of view, and as an artist, I appreciated the use of original works of art. The illustrations are blissful and I acknowledge the work that went into them. They are for adults but are not suitable for young children since the drawings are too mature and suggestive. The culture clash this artist/writer experienced in Fiji was especially fun, exotic, and relatable.

This is the fourth collection of my illustrated, humorous poems.

Cuando viajas siempre pasan cosas. Bien sea por negocios o por placer, sales de tu entorno de seguridad y te expones a lo imprevisto, más de lo habitual, o a lo imprevisto que, fuera de un entorno controlable, tiene más posibilidad de convertirse en catástrofe.Viajar, como consecuencia, es una fuente inagotable de anécdotas. Unas veces más y otras menos, pero si viajas mucho y por muchos lugares como es mi caso, la posibilidad de encontrarte con situaciones extremas aumenta proporcionalmente.Son ocasiones donde el azar crea situaciones nuevas y rompe la rutina de lo previsible. Para algunos son engorros o complicaciones que arruinan los viajes. Para mi son la sal de estos.

"Never allow someone to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option." - Mark Twain I'm at a New Year's party with a bunch of friends, most married. Midnight is approaching, and I'm holding the tallest Bombay Sapphire and tonic I can find, because I haven't found Miss Next. A married friend remarks. "Dude, who are you going to kiss at midnight?" "No idea." "Why don't you mingle and find someone?" "Maybe I don't see anyone I'd like to kiss." "Hey, beggars can't be choosers." "Neither can married men." "But..." "Careful, lad. You don't want to confess infidelity to a writer." "I'm not. I'm just saying, if I wanted to kiss another woman, I could." "Right, and you might be caught and forced to pay the consequences, which would be more significant than mine." "So, you like being alone because it's safer." "Single. I like being single, because it offers nearly limitless opportunities." "What about the sex?" "Really? You want to go there? How long have you been married?" "Never mind. Enjoy your drink, nice guy." I am nice-to a fault. Then, after being poked enough times, I stray into naughty land. Although I know it's what many women prefer, I can't seem to transform myself into a bad boy. I witness bad boys treating women badly. Often, these women complain to me about it. Then, I watch them walk away from me, and swoon back into the beast's arms. Insanity, if you ask me. This is what makes me fall from niceness. Women constantly saying they want one thing, while selecting the other. Women don't want to fuck nice guys. Women want bad boys to fuck them. There's only one way to describe it: Nice Guy FAIL.
