I am just saying : my shorter writings

155 p. ; 22 cm.

"Funny, and deeply moving, here are the collected shorter writings of David Muise -- author of the bestselling 'Awake at a wake.' A river of humanity and goood humour runs through 'I'm just saying' -- the mark of a decent man and an insightful Cape Bretoner. Raised in Ashby, Sydney, David shares the pleasures and pitfalls of growing up in the Fifties and Sixties, rock-and-roll, circus mayhem, miners' vacation on the the Mira, fruit cake and bobsledding out of control. Clearly, his greatest joy is to make us laugh, be it advice gleaned from his advisors at Tim Hortons, or country music song titles guaranteed to pull anyone out of a depression! His memories kindle our own memories. His admiration - for honesty, for heroes like Terry Fox or the Nathansons of Whitney Pier, for his parents who raised nine children on a steelworker's wages - points the way to a fulfilling community for us all. A lawyer, mayor, member of the Nova Scotia Legislature, storyteller and volunteer - David Musise was a proud Rotarian who lived their motto of 'Service Above Self. From 'Chasing the Ace to the funny papers to the dreaded Man Cold, he gives us a portrait of Cape Bretoners creating a rich, liveable world out of friendship, respect, and wit."--Back cover.
