Have you ever tired of endless nonproductive meetings, the insanity of excessively formulated policies and procedures or the pacification of workplace ineptness and complacency along with the forced acceptance of nepotism? Have you ever fantasized in the warm, soothing waters of a utopian based dream that gets you to smile at the thought of creating your own business or being your own boss? Set your own hours; make your own rules? Better yet, did you ever desire to invent, design or hatch the next, "Why Didn't I Think of That" phenomenon? Do you ever remember hearing that the best time to come up with your Cabbage Patch Doll is when you already have a job and a paycheck? Did you keep the door of revelation unlocked in order to never miss the visit of a guest named opportunity? Yup, me too. Now take all of the ingredients and spices of that secret recipe, stir them up really well, heat the mixture and serve it as a hot meal to hungry consumers during the busiest and most frenzied buying season of the year, Christmas. And what is it that you concocted? This book Maybe it will motivate you. Possibly it will discourage you. But I am here to advise and caution you that the "Can't Miss Product" that you have spent your life searching for is more than likely at best, spelled M-A-Y-B-E SLEIGHFRAMES represents my personal journey that began in the 1950's during the era and advent of the Hula Hoop and the Mickey Mouse watch. Imaginative ideas like SLEIGHFRAMES grew in my mind and traveled along through sled rides, snowball fights and the magical Christmas's of my youth. They were born from imagination, bred from nostalgia and nurtured by hypocrisy. They were exciting, discouraging and maybe even depressing. They were my ticket out of "Jobtown" and I boarded that train, but unfortunately it never left the station. But as long as there is a hint of oxygen, there will remain a flicker of the flame once termed the American Dream, and hope is kept alive. But the true fact is, as always, the dream ceases soon after the awakening occurs. Or does it?
