Finished Gary Bengier's book, Unfettered Journey. I commend his effort in writing a novel; more than I have done. I thought that the story was hokey. I couldn't buy the characters and their emotions. It all seemed simple and a personal fantasy than a story I could believe in. I would pass on this.

This hits really close to home! I am all about being silly and bringing my two sides (serious scientist and ridiculous person) to work. Life is too short and too hard to save the fun for later. ❤️
