One Retired Guy's Guide to the Holidays: Humorous Essays on Holiday Life After Retirement

Humorous Essays on Life After Retirement, Book 2

By: Everett Kunzelman

Narrated by: D. D. Scott

There’s life...and then...there’s holiday life...and then...there’s holiday life when you’ve got time to think about it after retirement. And for this retired guy, that means it’s all about his dogs, his childhood memories and the memories he’s created throughout the years with his family.

Welcome to the first holiday essay collection by Everett Kunzelman, the second book in his series - Humorous Essays on Life After Retirement.

Full of lots of laugh-out-loud moments - with his Golden Doodles, involving a werewolf scarecrow and a confiscated pecan pie, and his experience (as Santa) trying to one-up the Tooth Fairy - as well as the heartfelt poignancy of what is has meant to him remembering his childhood poverty, which resulted in an orange and re-painted toy cars (re-painted to make him think they were new), Everett’s latest collection is all this and more.

So, onto the random stories and disorder...

Praise for the Essays of Everett Kunzelman:

“Everett Kunzelman has captured the Spirit of the Holiday Season with not only his trademark humor…but, in this holiday collection, he’s shared his heart. As he says in his poignant essay ‘A Foundation of Memories’, it’s about helping others create good holiday memories. And that’s exactly what he’s done with this heartwarming collection of holiday essays.” (D. D. Scott, international best-selling author)

About the author:

After a brief editing “career” of a few months at a magazine experiencing financial woes, the relatively new college graduate sought out a temporary job to hold him over until his writing career could be reestablished. About 45 years later, after rewarding experiences within the life insurance risk selection profession, the writing effort recommenced with this first effort at a book. Yes, there are articles out there by the author on diabetes, renal failure, and other matters dealing with risk selection, but those were more a part of the professional participation. While the career sparked shareable events, there is so much more.

After retiring from the life insurance industry, there came the few years of adding to the life well-lived and creating so much material for sharing beyond what might be construed as “work.” This is the time dedicated to his dogs, his family, his many friends, and to a better world, a better life.
