About the Author

Ben is a retiree, satisfied that the Good Lord has given him a generous share of what might be found on the happiness side of life. Ben’s ardent wish is that everyone will get their just share of whatever the Good Lord decides will be an equal amount of only those good things. The title of this book is the result of that feeling. Each written article ends with the salutation “Have a nice day.” This is a form of blessing and nonsectarian wish for all fellow humans.

Ben, at eighty-five years of age, has been lucky enough to have done everything he hoped to accomplish in life and has been in every venue where he hoped to appear. Hands have been dirty and/or clean depending totally on his immediate location.
