Now think back on last night's dinner, a burrito perhaps? . . .All the greatest hits are here: The Log Jam, The Glass Shard, The Deja Poo, The Hanging Chad ... the list goes on. Sidebars, trivia, over 60 euphemisms for number 2, and unusual case histories all make this the ultimate bathroom reader.

She was fighting for her job Bridal magazine editor Lianne Cooper's dream job had one major hitch—she needed a husband. After all, how could she evaluate honeymoon locales without a partner? Her only hope was to convince her hunky ex-husband, Mitch Cooper, to play the part of a madly-in-love newlywed. Trouble is, Mitch didn't seem to be acting….

Early Reviews The Arc is full of golden nuggets. One just has to mine them for themselves if they havent already. The First Arc is a three dimensional On the Road. We travel on land, air and sea, from the desert to the Alps, Las Vegas to Mallorca, and from bliss to despair and back up again forever. Peter has done what most of us only wish we had done. The ocean, like life, has currents which go in great circles. Life arcs around for most of us until we learn what we need to learn. I found many of my answers here. I have known Peter for decades and we now know what grace abounds for even us unlovelies. Peters quest for fullness and total satisfaction has sent him on an incredible journey. I have never known an unknown that has met so many well knowns. What is this brush with fame for? The answers are here for you and me. Peter is too humble to mention this. He is now working on his 63rd career.
