Cross Erma Bombeck with P. J. O’Rourke and what do you get? A piquant and side-splitting probing of suburban midlife. Fellow Ohioan C. R. Yeager finds the nerve in parental misgivings and marital miscues, mortality malaise and outer ring perils. With zany cartoons by award-winning illustrator Thomas Zahler, these fifty essays are a cracked valentine to the process of surviving the inevitable. ‘Very highly recommended reading’--- The Midwest Book Review.
