As I enter my 50th year of life, or my second half, I have updated my "Man of a Certain Age: " series with this third installment that covers my 49th year of bottoming out, recovery beginnings, and the people and places that have really helped motivate and invigorate me to do better. To be better. To lead myself better down life's path, My Camino, and my life with My Love, four wonderful grown and growing kids and all that life throws at this Man of a Certain Age. My tribe is mostly ignored or forgotten, if we aren't in places of power and financial influence. This is my story of how I cope with that fact and how I must live a much better life in my second half to enjoy all of the great people, places, and experiences that my life has offered and continues to offer me every day, week, month, and year of my blessed life. I am just one real George Bailey and I do have "A Wonderful Life" with many angels like Clarence reminding me of just that. My aging demographic may just be forgotten by many, which is primarily why ours is the only shrinking American population, by our own hands through personal behaviors/addictions, in America's modern era (see the research @ http: //www.pnas.org/content/112/49/15078 and in the NYTimes @ https: //www.nytimes.com/2015/11/03/health/death-rates-rising-for-middle-aged-white-americans-study-finds.html ) That is one of the many reasons to write such a book for my family, my friends, my acquaintances, and, also, for the millions of guys out there that struggle daily with their issues, demons, and lack of interest in them and their daily challenges. My first two books were written in a sloppy manner, as only a heavy drinker can achieve. But, this one was written while sober, even with vino tinto at the ready, and with a much-improved perspective, story of recovery beginnings, and my Camino experience this recovery summer that only helped my attitude, outlook, value, and self-worth. Take this for what it is worth, this honest story of my 49th year of life. My Camino. My real Camino de Santiago from Burgos to Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain, August 2017. One lovely and delicious trail of people, places, food, faith, and fellowship. Enjoy and I will see how year 50 progresses, as I plan volume 4, "Man of a Certain Age: ", over the next few years and see where this second half of life takes us all across this country and, most of all, across the globe to older and finer cultures, people, and lifestyles. We will get there as a family and a tribe...together. Ultreia!!!!

Life is a game that changes dramatically as we all age. Of course, life is not what it was in your 20's as you push through your 40's. I can only pray that our 50's will be kinder and gentler, but we shall see. This book is the #2 or sequel to my first, long-winded and typed effort that covers almost 50 years of living in a few small places of America and big places beyond. This second effort you are considering goes into great detail about what is stupid, irrelevant, important, and vital to guys like me, a Man of a Certain Age, if you will....plus those who love such guys. Thanks for your interest and for considering this shorter read from this husband, father, and writer of some degree. More to come. Please stay tuned. Gracias, thank you, and Buen Camino!

One flawed human being, much like the Kindle format of this book. I'm not going to pay for a custom format, editor, etc. I hope you will enjoy this great effort and large book, you Man of a Certain Age and/or one who loves such a person. Please give it a shot. Thank you. On to my actual description... Over almost five decades, one can and should experience a lot of victories and a few failures. This one Man of a Certain Age has done just that and would like to share those experiences and changes with men of his ilk and with those who love them. This is a true story of growth, renewal, and honest transformation that is only experienced after...well...growing up and older with love. It is one man's journey from a boy to a man to a husband to a father to a success to a failure and to one happy alcoholic embracing just who and what matters moving forward. Fortunately, thanks to My Love, God, my kids and the Camino de Santiago... the best is yet to come...stay in-touch for future Men of A Certain age volumes...cheers!
