520 $aIn this, his tenth book of essays, the irrepressible Sam Pickering wanders from the thickets of the old family farm in Nova Scotia, to a middle school athletic field, to his office as an involved English professor. He examines the flowers and the trees and tells stories about people named Googoo and Loppie. He watches a daughter play soccer and a son row. He attends funerals, remembers the past, and imagines the future. And around him, the everyday world blossoms.
520 8 $aPickering writes to delight and sometimes to teach. And he is opinionated, especially when exposing "foolishness in low places." But this book is primarily about living, living within a family and with Everyman's hopes and fears.
