The stories are short--under two pages--making the book ideal for readers who have limited time or are passengers on a journey. Readers will smile as they recall a time when boys slathered hair cream on their locks, women sported a bouffant hairdo and barnyards were a common sight.

The SideRoad Columnist is sure to delight and amuse mature folks as they remember the old days.

Kennedy's ability to entertain, while simultaneously writing terse columns, is undeniable. She's a writer for our times. "Through her rich memories and witty observations, Sharon Kennedy offers a realistic perspective of today's world with the sense of humor of a life thoroughly lived. She will make you laugh and cry and think about your own life and all the lessons that come with it." --Sarah Leach, Outstate Michigan Executive Editor, Gannett Media Sharon M.

I Have No Idea What I’m Doing -...

Dicholas Chad Pansy

Are you one minor inconvenience away from a full-blown existential crisis?
Do you regularly Google how to do your own job while hoping nobody notices?
Ever sat in a meeting nodding thoughtfully while having no clue what’s happening?
Congratulations! 🎉 You’re just like everyone else.
This book is a highly questionable, deeply unserious guide to:
✔️ Looking like you have your life together while internally screaming.
✔️ Pretending you belong in the room, even when you definitely don’t.
✔️ Saying things with confidence so people stop asking follow-up questions.
Inside, you’ll learn highly advanced survival techniques, including:
🔥 "Meetings, Presentations, and Other Ways to Have a Public Meltdown" (How to say “Let’s circle back” and escape responsibility forever.)
🔥 "Job Interviews: The Olympic Sport of Pretending You’re Normal" (How to answer 'Tell me about yourself' without crying.)
🔥 "Your Inner Critic is a Liar (And Also Kind of a Jerk)" (Why your brain is an unpaid intern with terrible opinions.)
🔥 "Nobody Actually Knows What They’re Doing (And That’s Beautiful)" (How billionaires, CEOs, and your boss are all just making stuff up.)
If you’ve ever felt like an imposter, like a fraud, or like you are one “Let’s hop on a quick call” away from quitting life and living in the woods— this book is for you.
Because here’s the truth:
🚀 Nobody knows what they’re doing. They’re just pretending louder.
🔥 And now, so can you.
WARNING: This book will not help you grow as a person. It will, however, make you feel slightly better about the absolute trainwreck that is modern life.
