Ernie's World: The Book

Book Description
Forty-six humorous pieces on Ernie Whitham, Everyguy. He's married with children, step children, and now, grandchildren. He likes sports better than they like him. He doesn't exactly attack life, but survives it through naivete, chutzpah, and the unwillingness to admit he may not be qualified to fix the washing machine. From jury duty through Valentine's Day, Little League through the Christmas tree fiasco, life with Ernie is just plain funny. Each of the five sections features a humorous photo of Ernie: * If You're Going to Be a Husband... * Raising a Family or Visa Versa * Oxymoron #27: Handy-Man * Sports, the Final Frontier * Living in a Man's World

From the Publisher
The Importance of Being Ernie, or A Guy By Any Other Name is Still a Guy Ernie Witham is the epitome of the every guy. He’s married with children. He likes sports—often better than they like him. He tackles home repair much like a skinny third-stringer tackles the all-star fullback. In essence, he does not so much attack life as he survives it through naivete, chutzpah, and the male-inherited unwillingness to admit he may not be qualified to fix the washing machine or teach the kids how to ski. These forty-eight humorous pieces will be enjoyed by men and women, young and old, because they’re based on the funniest premise of all—truth. From messing up at parent-teacher night, to showing up empty-handed at the company potluck, to revealing the hard-learned rules of survival at a local health club, life in Ernie’s World is hilarious and real, and reminds us that we all need to laugh at ourselves once in a while. Ernie Witham’s humorous pieces have appeared in the Los Angeles Times and the Santa Barbara News-Press. "Ernie’s World," the column, appears in the Montecito Journal and is syndicated by Senior Wire News Services to publications across the nation. Ernie Witham is a contributing writer to a dozen anthologies, including Chicken Soup for the Golfers, -Baseball Fan’s, -Sport Fan’s, -Father’s Soul. He lives with his family in Santa Barbara, California.
