Synopsis

"Get another job in finance. Make a quick killing and retire again in another year!" (As soon as I get the oil changed in my wife's car!) "Forget the want-ads in the newspapers - those are so Eighties! Just go to the monster!" (Sure, right after I fix the attic steps.) "Move south." (But first I have to trim the shrubs and paint the bedroom.) Early retirement from the company that had employed him over thirty years, Jerry now wrestles with what to do with his life. Still on the short side of his fifties, and accepting that it's too soon to put away his briefcase, he diligently searches for a new occupation/profession/job. One that will fulfill the passions that he didn't know he had But in between here and the perfect career is one obstacle - the unending Honey Do List. Join Jerry as he attempts to: satisfy the love of his life (aka wife); find his passions (after he determines what they are): and keep his sanity (and extremities) intact while searching for the ideal second career. Following up on his earlier book, No More Ties . . . But Will There Be Donuts? Jerry continues his quest. Will he resign himself to a life of leisure? More importantly, regardless of the choice - are there donuts? You will find yourself laughing out loud as he takes a new road in life - filled with intersections, potholes, cuts and bruises, and a liberal amount of coffee and donut stops!

About this title

About the Author:

Never having met a donut he did not like, Jerry lives and writes on Long Island, NY with the love of his life, Elise. He’s never written for Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, or Vanity Fair. He has never won any major literary awards, though his third-grade essay entitled “My Best Donut Ever” did win him a prize in Krispy Kreme’s Kickoff ‘57 campaign – he’s still waiting to hear from the Pulitzer Committee. A life-long story teller blessed with many a misadventure; he’s never lacked for an anecdote about time spent in the wrong lane of life ... or at Dunkin’ Donuts. Now, as he ventures into an unplanned and unanticipated life of pre-mature retirement, he continues to share tales of his adventures at finding a new passion to fill forty hours a week.
