Today is Jane's 40th birthday. Her wonderful husband and two lovely kids plan a surprised party for her; a happy and graceful wife and mom. While feeling so glad, excited and thankful for her day, the first guests come in; her parents. Watching them entering to celebrate with her, send her back to her childhood. An era of her life which was not pleasant to re-experience as thoughts. At the same time, pleasant to see how this joyful Jane came out of it. Pleasant to look back at her choices, and pleasant to watch her own journey from an unhappy, fearful, without confidence child to a joyful, graceful and confident forty year old one; which she is thankful for. While enjoying every moment of her amazing party, the same scenario continues to happen with all the other guests. The ones whom their presence was a gift for her life, the ones whom she has learned from, the ones whom was a part of sweet or bitter experience to help her grow, and the ones whom she couldn't reach here without. Observing the whole path of her life; smooth or rough, easy or hard, with laugh or cry, in just an evening, and celebrating it with the ones who accompanied her during the 40 year old journey make her day much brighter than ever.

The book is intended primarily to be family history for the next several generations of Minervas. It also contributes to the canon of personal diaries of the Korean War. It presents an aspect of war and army life that families back home would not have considered. Being in the armed service for his country, a young man had to rearrange his daily life in the framework of the circumstances the US Army presented. He was living with other men like himself, in close quarters, moving frequently. There was also in this case a peta puppy dog for company. His room and meals, of various qualities, would be supplied, but he had to arrange for his laundry, housekeeping, and, mainly, recreational activities of some kind for those many hours when his services were not being required by the command that otherwise would be empty and subject to massive stretches of boredom.

This memoir answers these questionsand more. It tells what guide dogs are supposed to do. Theyre smart, loyal and well-trainedbut not all dogs are created alike. Musket is proof of that. Hes definitely got a thing for treats and belly rubs. For the first time, the dog has his say. (Of course he needed a little help with the typing, since he doesnt have opposable thumbs. Thats where author Mark Carlson came in. Still, Musket is the brains of the outfit.) Mark and Musket tell their story with humor, emotion, and Muskets occasional contradictions. And at the end of the day, Musket somehow manages to be a great guide dog too. Confessions of a Guide Dog was written so a wonderful, devoted dog could reach out to those who havent been lucky enough to meet him. Hell make you smile, laugh, cry, and want to give him treats. This is their story. (And theyre sticking to it.)

A fascinating journey through Scotland's famous distilleries with legendary author Iain Banks No true Scotsman can resist the allure of the nation's whisky distilleries. In an absorbing voyage as interesting to non-drinkers as to true whisky connoisseurs, sci-fi and literary author Iain Banks explores the rich heritage of Scottish whisky, from the largest and most famous distilleries to the smallest, most obscure operations. Whisky is more than a drink: it's a culture, a binder that joins together people, places and products far across Scotland's rugged terrain. Switching from cars to ferries to bicycles, Banks crisscrosses his homeland, weaving an engrossing narrative from the strange people, fascinating traditions, and downright bizarre places he encounters on his journey down Scotland's great golden road.
