Down the street, a dog is running around a lamp post on a leash. I feel like I’m on a similar trajectory. Sam Bennett is the last of a dying breed, a former Mad Man, now made redundant after 30 years at the same advertising agency. Left with his awards and a case of Bulgarian whiskey (which he still can’t remember buying), Sam retreats to his home, awaits the summer arrival of his daughter and crazy son-in-law, Muller, is plagued by panic attacks and has an incident involving a pressed ham on a liquor store window with a young security guard named Max. With the ground feeling like a trampoline, Sam sets out to do the one thing Mary, his wife, wants more than anything else—a grandchild. It won’t be easy with Muller, his suicidal son-in-law, jumping off roofs and drinking green paint, but life is full of surprises. Meanwhile, Muller wants Max’s mom, and Max’s dad, Otis, has the craziest online show in Chicago called, “Otis Cries For You.” As Sam’s doctor Krupsky tells him, “Life’s a crapshoot. At least you filled the cheap seats.” Sam is about to learn the greatest lessons in life, even if it means stealing his neighbor’s pot, and getting more people stoned than he ever imagined possible.

The 1st book in the captivating, educational, beautifully illustrated 11-vol Starman Jones Series designed to give young readers an intuitive grasp of esoteric science. It teaches youngsters about the amazing effects of Relativity. Starman Jones and Spacepup wish to take Baby Billy on their adventurous trips from star to star in their starship, Willywinder. But Billy is too young, so Starman Jones and Spacepup undertake a trip to the star Alpha Centauri, traveling so fast that time slows down for them on Willywinder, while time progresses normally back on Earth for Baby Billy. They return to Earth on Billy's ninth birthday, having hardly aged at all. Billy has caught up with them, and can now accompany them on future star trips. It is the best birthday present Billy has ever had: a relativity birthday present. Dr. Frank Drake, Director of the Carl Sagan Center for the Study of Life in the Universe, and of the SETI Institute, wrote the introductions for parents and kids.
