Yet, as the story progresses, events remain ever more shrouded in mystery.

From the Editor:  My grandpa Merle and his friend Jr. knew each other as children, and had a friendship that lasted more than seventy years. They wrote to each other throughout World War II; this book contains my grandpa’s side of the conversation. Some letters to Jr.’s sister Margie are also included. When Grandpa showed my family these letters, we read through them in one sitting, laughing and knowing they were a treasure of his past. My hope is that you find them as enjoyable as we do.

This is my first attempt at writing a book. I have always been told I tell a pretty good story, so I thought I would try to put it to print. I've been told I sometimes master making a short story long and I would like to think a long story short. Random Thoughts of a Stupid Man, is exactly that: somewhat tongue in cheek at times, but definitely random. I call it a memoir with a twist. I have attempted to allow you to wander through my life as I have, ranging from childhood, high school, college and my experiences as a husband, father and coach. Along the way there are several distinct random thoughts sprinkled among the not-so-distinct random thoughts. Points of reference include family and marital relations, parenting, sports from the viewpoint of a player and coach. Being raised in a military family is addressed along with moving all over the country to my dad's various duty stations. There are also some historical references and points of obscure trivia I have picked up in my travels.  Men who read this book, I hope will come away empowered with the ability to also admit they to are "Stupid Men". There is no shame in it. The women who read this book, I'm hoping will establish confidence to continue in their quest to train and mold the "Stupid Men" in their lives. We are all trainable, even if only one "smidge" at a time. If any of you do not know what a "smidge" is, contact my wife. I also want to thank, Jansina, at Rivershore Books for giving me a second chance to publish this book. Greatly appreciated!

Her courage to go on when life is challenging is an inspiration to all. Nikki spells out what hope means to her. Finding hope is not easy and is an everyday battle. "Struggles are a part of life. We can either go through it with a cloud over our head, or we can look at it as an opportunity." She sees life as an opportunity: to help others discover their potential and to make a difference in their lives. This book includes pictures of Nikki’s life, beautiful illustrations, and journal and discussion questions to reflect upon one’s own life experiences.

I guess that is what More Random Thoughts of a Stupid Man is: a sharing of my life and the thoughts that enter my somewhat-demented mind on occasion. I’ll admit, writing those thoughts has become more therapeutic than artful and brings me a deep feeling of comfort. I can only hope that you enjoy the read! I also hope it leaves you wondering at times, “Did he just say that?” or “Did that really happen?” I’m here to tell you, I did just say that and that did just happen! I know this to be true, because I often catch myself wondering if I said that out loud or if I really did that. I also know my wife wonders the same things about me. Please don’t be too judgmental, I have already written two books in which I openly admit to being a “Stupid Man.” As a matter of fact, just the other day I was watching Sports Center on ESPN; I have finally gotten pretty good at reading the ticker that streams across the bottom of the screen if I’m watching a large enough screen. I was thinking if ESPN collaborated with the Weather Channel and streamed our local weather report, I might never have to change the channel. If my wife wanted to get involved , maybe ESPN would allow her to put reminders on the ticker of things I need to do around the house or how I might use my time more constructively…or would that be just TMI? If any of my current or ex-players or students are reading this book; yes, I just said TMI, and I know it stands for “Too much information!”

There was a time, early on,that the writer would write something, a poem, once every year or even two. But this volume was written in just one year's time. Sometimes he feels that he has little to do with it, consciously, directly.

“According to Road of Flowers, Mr. Kawashima’s life has been a tremendous one.” -Hakubu Shimomura, Minister of Education “I hope as many people as possible read his book to gain a better understanding of courage and to dream of a better future.” -Tadao Chiba, Denmark-Japan Social Living Institute “Describing his life full of vicissitude, Camino de Flor is, so to speak, an autographic story and persuades us that nothing is impossible for a person who has a strong will.” -Dr. Gregory of Tokyo University Life is a drama. Each person has their own drama and lives according to scenarios bestowed upon us by God. God bestows a simple life to some and tremendous drama to others. Whatever scenario a person faces, as long as we give all effort, we are all equally successful. In my case, being innocent and naïve, I was faced with tremendous drama throughout my life. These experiences made me into the person I am today.
