From the family move in 1951 to California over the old Route 66, to being a census taker at the Manson Family stronghold in 1970. Having childhood memories of family clambakes on an old Rhode Island farm at Nooseneck Hill, to fleeing deadly fires surrounding the family home on a California hillside. More than a memoir, the book delves into such subjects as gay marriage, gun control, physician-assisted suicide, road rage, environmental policies, medical marijuana, raising children, the war in Iraq, and Presidents Kennedy, Clinton and Bush.
