Never Fool a Nice Girl into Becoming the Blind Date of a Tango Dancer (ePub)

Author Howard Jarmy, a person born curious about almost everything, weaves a story of his engineering career, as well as of his personal adventures and ruminations. He offers an entertaining, easy-reading look back to non-stop learning flavored with a joie de vivre. Recalling people met along the way, he admits to stretching the truth now and then (should an opportunity arise), tells of the lighter side of his life in the army, his business ventures, inventions, how he taught himself to play the piano, grew trees indoors, and learned a few tap dancing steps, but shied away from a belly dancing class . . . (students had to wear pantaloons and veils!).

While a trombonist in dance bands, he arranged and orchestrated music. And, at one time or another, he was a sailor, flyer, horticulturist, artist, cook, and more. Now retired, and writing, never fool a nice girl into becoming the blind date of a tango dancer is his latest book. With humor and insight, questions and answers, he reviews a lifetime of challenges (some self-inflicted), and experiments made during searches for information. Contrasting meaningful introspection and entertaining ideas, he posits that constant learning, and keeping the mind active, are good for both physical health and spirit.

He demonstrates that almost anything can be written about if presented with a light touch. And that makes this book a delight to read.
