From the Introduction:

Lifeguarding started with the idea of writing “lead-ins” to songs a friend of mine had written... creating a theater piece a la Jacque Brel is Alive and Well....

When that didn’t pan out, I shelved the effort. Recently, however, (and some two years later) I came across what I had written and decided to pick up where I had left off. The result is this book.

What follows are brief stories and reflections, one to four pages in length. Real and imagined; some, a mix of both. I would like to think that some of the stories offer an idea or two worth considering.

My hope is that there are stories here to which the reader can relate... examples, perhaps, of the theater-like nature of everyday life.
