My Best Work is Done at the Office

Mark Twain once wrote: "I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, most of which never happened."

Smart guy, Mark. His dry-humor analysis of the way we take ourselves too seriously, worrying trivial warts until they turn cancerous, eating away our sensitivity to surrounding wonders and our natural zest for life sounded a klaxon-call to me. As a result, my common everyday working stuff is driven by two firm beliefs: 1) that we should never take ourselves too seriously; and 2) that everybody needs inspiration to make it through each day's imagined threats and foibles. Tell me what you think by reading My Best Work is Done at the Office

I just talked to your wife [on the phone]. Nice lady. I told her my brother Herman, Paul Harvey, and you are alike. A man has to allow for some windage. - Gerry Pearson / Salmon, ID

Well, Roland, you said My Best Work is Done at the Office is a "bathroom book," and I want you to know that's where I've been reading it ... and it worked every time! - John Phelps / Carbondale, IL

Most of the photos were taken 30 - 40 years ago. Visit the same places and it'll still look the same. That's the most enduring benefit of America's Wilderness system. Folks can see what all the land looked like before slums, shopping centers, and subdivisions

Over the years, Roland claims to have written 27 hundred columns and radio scripts. He tells anyone who asks that My Best Work is Done at the Office contains a hundred of the best. Then he'll shake his head and grin and say, "That's a lie. There are 116 stories in here; and I've got two or three hundred more at home that are just as good -- I just couldn't get 'em all in."
