This is my explanation of the ages of human beings. I realize that some of us don't fall into given age levels or categories, but we're just the exceptions to the "rules."

From birth to about age 2, a child is unaware of anybody or anything else in the world of more importance than him/herself.

From age 3 to age 8, he/she is unknowing of anything outside of his/her own circle of life.

Age 9 to about age 16, we are aware of but are unconcerned about others outside of our own lives.

Age 17 to age 25, we start assimilating others into our own realms.

Age 26 to age 40, we find ourselves "in charge" of whatever is within or touching our realm. Whether we want to be in charge or not.

From 41 to age 60, we're simply learning to cope with and tolerate everything else around us. Kind of like a duck swimming. Totally peaceful looking above water, but thrashing around madly below the surface.

From age 61 to 70, we're finally at the age that we can be reflecting a good portion of the time on all that has happened in our lives.

But after 71 years of age, we are, to the rest of humanity, irrelevant. The rest don't care about our opinions, our contributions, our goals, our desires in life, because why? The people in the rest of the world are still in one of the lower age ranges and they're too busy with their own lives to give a rip about the older people who BUILT their world!

Welcome to the world of reality, Folks!

All three formats/versions of "Courting Georgia" are now LIVE on Amazon.com!!!! Ebooks (for Kindle, iPad, Tablet, or computer) is $9.95. Paperbacks are $61.00, Hardbacks are $69.95, although as an introductory item, Amazon has the latter two on sale for 39% off!

I'm sorry the prices seem so high, but this book is 368 long, with 717 photographs, so Amazon is charging a bunch for printing this little puppy.

Please tell ALL teachers, Principals, and state government employees about the book. I've been told by several people who have seen the proof copy that every SCHOOL in the STATE should have at least one copy in their libraries!! I can only wish it were so!

If you have a group that wants to purchase many copies, I can get them for you as "author copies," which will be cheaper for you and the group. Just let me know how many, I'll order them, and you can pay me back via check or PayPal.

To place your order, go to Amazon.com, enter the name of the book (Courting Georgia) into the search line, and it will bring up the book.

Time to get excited about newest book about our lovely state of Georgia!!
