In these pages the author describes his walk through life's minefield, in which he ultimately dodged the mines of religion, booze, romance, and as a musician employed on the lounge circuit in his home state. He transparently owns up to his own role in stepping on these mines, but also describes his methods of stepping off of them and finding a way to avoid them in the future. It's quite an entertaining romp, and provides hope for those who may experience their own challenges in the minefield of life.
