Dad Strikes Again

Know someone with a dad of bottomless confidence and absolutely no brakes? With a father who is gloriously, hopelessly, magnificently unhinged? With a papa who has never once let common sense get in the way of one of his genius ideas? Or who thinks their dad is the most embarrassing dad ever?

This book is for them.

Dad Strikes Again is a collection of stories about growing up with a father who marches to the beat of his own sousaphone. A family vacation where the cruise boat we wanted wasn't the cruise boat we got. A showdown with a dark knight at a medieval party. A Greek party that dad thinks needs more joy. Dad graduating from 'yoga for pregnant women' to hot yoga. A yogurt eating contest where contestants struggle to keep up, and keep it down. A Robin Hood expedition to get supples during an ice storm. A personal crusade against parking fees. All of that, and more. Every story in this book is based on true events. All of it happened. I was there. Unfortunately.

In every story, Dad has a vision. Does he share that vision with anyone? No. Does he have a detailed plan to implement it? No. Does his family have reservations based on extensive past experience? Many. Do events unfold in a way that nobody could have predicted? Oh yeah.

Dad Strikes Again is the true story of growing up with a father of extraordinary, unstoppable, utterly embarrassing enthusiasm - and the love letter you never knew you wanted to write about him. The perfect gift for anyone who grew up with a dad like this - or is still recovering.
