Poor Daddy Complete

Poor Daddy cover

By Jim Hagarty

Each day for the past 44 days I have published another chapter from my book Poor Daddy: Adventures of a Stay-at-Home Father. Today, the final chapter is there under the button Poor Daddy along with the other 43 chapters. The book is shown backwards – the last chapters first, first last. Tomorrow I will republish it all starting at Chapter One and continuing on down to the end. The book is out of print at the moment so is not yet available in the Corner Store. I will let you know when it is ready. I am proud of the book. My wife says it contains my best writing so far.

Author: Jim Hagarty

I am a 72-year-old retired journalist, busy recovering from a lifelong career as an unretired journalist. This year marks a half century of my scratching out little fables about life. My interests include genealogy, humour and music. I live in a little blue shack in Canada and spend most of my time trying to stay out of trouble. I am not that good at it. I also spent years teaching journalism. Poor state of journalism today: My fault. I have a family I don't deserve, a dog that adores me, and two cars the junk yard refuses to accept. My prized possessions include my old guitar and a razor my Dad gave me when I was 14 and which I still use when I bother to shave. Oh, and my great-great-grandfather's blackthorn stick he brought from Ireland in the 1850s. I have only one opinion but it is a good one: People take too many showers.
