---------------------------------------------------------------
Bear witness to the bastard son of a drunken sailor, as he pursues an independent path of artistry, terminal alcoholism and, oh yes, jobs. See how one man makes a concerted effort to force open the doors of opportunity, while the door to a federal prison and, a few years later, death's door, seem to swing open all by themselves. Stay by the resilient workingman's side, as he discovers mercy from a chicken, Georgetown from the driver's seat of a handsome cab and wisdom from the swollen lips of a battered woman. While your humble narrator, amid a lifelong parade of dead end jobs, may now and again lose sight of his purpose on the planet, he'll never lose his sense of humor. The more somber moments, such as those which prompt guilt over the unwitting abuse of a kindly old man, or sadness at the tears of a jilted bride-to-be, merely serve to strengthen and widen the avenues of compassion for this sworn student of the human condition. As he tells his story in two parts - Book 1, The Insanity and Book 2, The Recovery - your Man of a Thousand Jobs takes us from paperboy to poultry tender to bartender, then from Amway salesman to pet odor specialist to Blackjack dealer. All the while, each story whispers hints of more personal back stories that might also one day like to be told. For now, however, the core subject is jobs, and lots of them. Strung together, many appear to be time killers, en route to the artist's true passion of storytelling, while others appear to be the much appreciated last resorts of a monetarily desperate man. In either event, the ride is unique; the pace, consistent. Thus, who could argue the ironic outcome?
