Poor Daddy is Here

Poor Daddy cover

By Jim Hagarty

I have begun to publish a story a day from my humour book about being a housebound dad called Poor Daddy: Adventures of a Stay-at-Home Father. The introduction and first two chapters are there. Check it out by clicking on Poor Daddy under the menu at the top of the page. It is not yet for sale in the Corner Store. I am having trouble working out terms of the financial arrangement with that crusty cheapskate, Jim Hagarty.

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.
