About Me

After the mysterious and unexpected death of a female friend, eighty-something Henry Calhoun and his best friend Lee Donahue need a breather. The two nursing-home residents make a break for the Mexican border for one last fling but the ensuing chaos lands them in a reverse world where residents arrive old and wise and advance backward toward youth with the chance to right wrongs and leave behind the legacy they thought they deserved. But is this really what Henry and Lee want? And, if not, will they be able to put things back the way they were, leave eternal youth behind, and return to Hog Temple? Or will they have the option of beginning their old lives again in light of correcting the one mistake they’ve chosen to make right? If the boys begin their lives again as young adults, what secrets will they uncover? Henry worries it’s all a crapshoot and Lee worries…well, Lee has plenty to worry about that he can’t tell Henry.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Kickboxers, novelists, playwrights, painters, other artists and anybody interested in books, the arts, Ultimate Fighting, tattoo art, and traveling, even if it is around the corner and back. Painters who have to paint and repaint to get it right, who make themselves crazy with their art. Anyone who buys my novel from www.behlerpublications.com and actually reads it and then e-mails me to say, "I read it. Now what?" I'd like to meet you, whatever you do. So buy my book!

What’s up with selling friends? And what about stupid art?

This business of selling your friends on my space and on Facebook freaks me out. Is anybody else troubled by that? I know it's a silly application meant to be fun, but I find it disturbing. How about ...

Plagiarism is a big deal...

A certain presidential hopeful announced recently that plagiarism is "no big deal." I beg to differ. I've spent years in education trying to ensure that my students understand that plagiarizing someon...

I hate all organized religions equally!

Okay, so I had a bad experience is a myspace Irish group. Somebody blasted the Irish Catholics and Catholics in general. I could have launched into "Isn't that the job the English are busy fulfilling?...

You guys looking for love...

Wow. Thanks for all the e-mails, but I'm probably way too old for you, I'm not rich so give that idea up, and even if I'm not too poor or too old for you, I'm not looking for romance, a hubby, a signi...

Going to the bar with my iphone & book to post

If you could go back in time, what mistake would you correct?

I just received an e-mail saying that the sender would have stayed with his first love. Wow. That got me thinking, something I try not to do too often. What would I change, you ask? Well, now, I was s...
