Every sailor and wanna-be sailor, whether they know it or not, is in direct contact with a personal god or gods - however many there may be. What we sailors fail to appreciate is that the gods are constantly trying to get in touch with us, but we ignore their messages since we are either too busy sailing or drinking beer. Keep this thought firmly in mind next time you untie your dock lines

The inspiration for this book comes from our mundane activities, the kind we all face as we daily roll out to face another electronically enslaving day.

Viglet III, Time, Infinity & Eternity - explores these concepts from many perspectives. It dares address the question - is there such a thing as "time" or is "time" simply a jumble of numbers needed to pass Physics 101? If "time" is not puzzling enough then consider infinity and eternity.

How pervasive is "time" - if it exists? Do other living things like ameba, puddy cats and petunias have a concept of time? Would humans have a sense of time if we didn't whip around the sun at fairly regular intervals? Since these are tough topics the only way to share our thoughts is through Viglets.

"VIGLETS Two - Ode to Dumbness" - seeks to ease widespread global tensions resulting from dumb people, which includes everyone - and is seemingly increasing exponentially. The author gently guides readers into creating personal dumb Viglets - intimate odes, totally unrestricted by archaic rules of grammar - you simply let your emotions on dumbness "hang out" and get instant relief for your suffering psychic.

Readers can easily relate to personal dumbness and find themselves creating insightfull Viglets worthy of sharing. Issues like; drivers on cell phones, failing to signal, politicians whose only job seems to be get re-elected, professionals with alphabet soup titles and management styles are discussed. What they all have in common is, you are right - dumbness.

Too often media (all of them) are loaded with lengthy - in depth - analysis scaring you into worrying about how your sewer pipes are leaking and our world is going to rack and ruin by having a drink or two. Viglets cut to the chase with pithy ditties that express emotionally charged personal feelings about issues without "in depth" and "breaking" details. Viglets bring a sense of calmness and balance even dummies can appreciate.
