In this book, Richard Hass combines the fundamentals of everyday living, with not so everyday thoughts. He creates a fictitious, yet detailed character that is barely a one at a time tasker. It isn't heavily plotted; it's more of the way he looks at the world. It is written in an easy going, contemplative style, through the eyes of Bugsy, as he proceeds in day to day living. "This book has a rhythm to it, a good flow. It creates a relationship between the author and the audience, and it writes in a distinctive voice." -Frank Kelly, Ph.D. The ideas in this book stemmed from an observation of a clown on the way to work one day. The clown wore a happily painted smile and was in full costume when he got a flat tire. He stood, scratching his head on the side of the road. While the clown changed the tire he appeared noticeably upset. Frustrated with himself, he took it out on the side of his car with his foot, and flung the tire jack. "You see, even clowns are people too." More ideas came to thought, the ideas were written down on paper, then typed on a small computer. Richard Hass is an artist and has a passion for drawing, painting and writing. Some of his other interests are surfing, boxing, and applying his creative nature working as a chef in New York. Other works by Richard Hass include the drawings and writings of "The Christmas Card Competition" and "I Want to Cook Dinner for Mom."
