"Once again, and owing this time, to the inevitably eroding cognitive state we all face as we near the end of our days, my episodic recall has suffered a modicum of disorder, finding in what follows, a few chronological discrepancies as they relate to the time my wife and I spent raising a family in the seventies, eighties, & nineties in Anchorage, AK.
If you’ve read any of my previous (re)collections, you’re probably aware that my writing is almost entirely auto-biographical and I’ve remained true to that genre, in this, my fifth body of work, setting-out on the island of Maui in the uniquely lush and beautiful state of Hawaii (in 1973} and winding down 25 years later (in 1998), leaving Anchorage for the inconvenient distance it posed in attending to the needs of our aging parents at that time.
I wanted this body of work to be charged by my off-color sense of humor while concurrently bearing a factual quality—I remain hopeful the deafening peal won’t diminish what I initially set out to convey.
