This story chronicles the first year of a veteran with his guide
dog. Guide Dogs for the visually impaired are truly remarkable
animals and the bond that develops between these two can be
extraordinary. Total trust and unconditional love are the corner
stones of their relationship. This book follows that development in
a light hearted, tongue-in-cheek manner from the dog's perspective.
Alyce La Gasse from OR wrote; Move over Lassie, Ace the Guide Dog
Detective is on the job now. With a unique combination of humor,
pathos, and ingenious dog-dialog, Adams cleverly conveys his very
special relationship with Ace. Through a series of shared
adventures with Ken, 'the blond', and the hero of the story, Ace,
the reader is introduced to the world of those who have limited or
no vision and their challenges. There is no self-pity in Ken's
story . . . in a very sweet and delightful tongue-in-cheek
presentation; he shares his love for his dog, their dedication to
each other, and his joy in having Ace as a guide, a partner, and a
friend. Phillip Blaney from CA. wrote; I really liked this book. A
good story line and I loved the way he drew the reader into the
story. A good read for all ages, a dog lovers delight. Rich Holland
from PA. wrote; I just finished reading your book. Without wanting
to sound patronizing, IT WAS GREAT What a dog I really and truly
enjoyed reading it and will recommend it to all. Jim Aker from VA.
wrote; I loved the book. Good for all dog lovers and others as
well. I would recommend it for young and old alike. I look forward
to his next book.
Charlie's introduction to his blog put it best: "A lifetime in
marketing actually equips a man for very little... Now pushing 58,
I realise with some horror that it is a full half century since I
last took cycling remotely seriously. If this trip does not go
well, I might leave it as long until my next attempt. In September
2012, seven friends of varying fitness and circumference,
accompanied by an elderly camper-wagon and driver, are cycling from
France to Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain." Despite
being well past their prime they cycled up the equivalent of Mount
Everest plus a bit as they crossed the Pyrenees, the Montes de Oca,
the Montes de Leon, and the Cantabrian Mountains, in the process
expending over 20,000 calories each (according to Susie's iPhone
App), most of which were put back on each evening. They cycled in
the footsteps of 1,000 years of history, marveled at the art and
architecture accumulated over the centuries, and at times crashed
into it. They visited the sites of miracles and pondered their
meaning, and crossed the 200 meter bridge at Hospital de Orbigo
which in 1434 was the site of a month long jousting tournament.
They experienced the highs and lows of triumph and disaster, and
felt compelled to test the efficiency of the Spanish medical
system. Comment on the blog from Barnaby: "God, troops...it is epic
reading and I am on the edge of my seat as I follow your progress
on my map." The De-Caff Camino is in turn amusing, informative,
easy reading and irreverent, and yet is imbued throughout with the
greatest respect for the history and traditions of the Camino and
those who have written their names into its lore. Improbably
arriving at their destination after two weeks and 500 miles on the
road, the author offers some forthright advice to the Vatican on
how to enhance the experience for pilgrims at last achieving their
goal after so much exertion, self-sacrifice and denial. The De-Caff
Camino is an essential and most entertaining addition to the body
of knowledge of The Way of St James.
What if you quit your job . . .
Sold everything . . .
and bought a small hotel on the beach . . .
South of Cancun, Mexico and down a long narrow road ending in
turquoise blue water, you will find Soliman Bay. Here is where most
people's dreams are found, a small bay, white sand and palm trees,
and a reef just offshore full of colorful fish. If you are
visiting, the dream looks real, but if you intend on staying the
locals have one bit of advice - guard your sanity.
Though it may not seem possible, this comedy you are about to
read is 99% true. Names have been changed to protect the
innocent.
May you laugh at our expense.
