Download or read book Lofdoc s Stories Short and Sweet written by Lofdoc and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-02-17 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories that I offer you are a veritable peek into the nonchalant (relaxed) world of the Author, Lofdoc. In contrast to the previous two books that have much emotional and personal confessions (book one, Medical and personal views); and many stories about animals, nature, and mystery stories (Book two, Fish Tales, and stories of the unusual); this third book, An Octogenarians Oracles, is written in a clear, unbiased friendly sort of way. There are stories that are nostalgic (Willow trees); there are stories that reflect and admonish (Regrets); and there are just plain fun to read stories (water skiing, smile please, use it, or lose it). Over all, the book has many stories that will prompt comments such as: Yeah, I remember seeing that, or prompt a sighing reader to comment these stories are true, oh so true. And so dear readers, I have given you my very best efforts. I have tried to put in print almost all elements that characterize my life on this planet. To this end, I have incorporated all three books into a Trilogy titled: LOFDOCS STORIES SHORT AND SWEET Book one subtitle Medical and personal views Book two Fish tales and stories of the Unusual Book three An Octogenarians Oracles I, Lofdoc, (Lots of fishing Doc), an 87 year old Octogenarian, hope you will enjoy my humble efforts, as much as I have enjoyed writing them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A humble and grateful confession! Many months ago, when I had completed and had published my third book, Lofdocs Stories: Short and Sweet, with the subtitle An Octogenarians Oracles, I was asked the question Will this, your third book, be your final contribution to the world of literature? I responded by saying, I would love to continue exploring new vistas, but the laws of nature will always have the final say; after all, I am eighty-nine years old. Well, now, the rest of the story. I guess I am no different than anyone else; after all, we are all birds of a feather, are we not? When the mountain climber was asked Why do you climb mountains? his answer was Because it is there. And so it is with me. I write because I am still here. But I confess that I reverently hope that I would still be around to continue to tell you the rest of my stories. So yes, dear reader, I have poured many hours of pure joy into this, my fourth book. There are stories titled Crying Out in the Wilderness, The Ten Armed Swimmer, Quackery, The Sand Dollar, Treasures of a Nursing Home, etc. I have tried to be accurate, sincere, and entertaining. I have given you a new world of thoughts and remembrances that you will hopefully embrace and enjoy. I sincerely believe this, my fourth volume, represents the best of all my lifetime literary efforts. I hope you will embrace and enjoy my little stories as much as I have loved writing them. I now give you Lofdocs fourth book. Oh, by the way, perhaps you might want to know about my use of the name Lofdoc as my pseudonym. No secret. I love fishing, so Lots of Fishing Doc. Yes, I am a retired doctor of medicine. I had practiced medicine (solo) for over thirty years in Ohio. I now devote most of my time caring for my medically wounded angel, my wife of sixty-five years.
