How to Deal with 21st Century American Women: Co-Creating a Successful Relationship, by Frosty Wooldridge; AuthorHouse (September 9, 2013). ISBN-10: 148174335X. ISBN-13: 978-1481743358.
I sit here flipping through the pages of How to Deal with 21st Century American Women, back to front, at a speed that would animate Mickey Mouse if he were drawn on every page. And I'm amazed. Because, you see, there are no such drawings; there are, instead, only my futile efforts to capture all the wisdom and BEST doses of clear logic and common sense contained in those pages by highlighting them with a fluorescent-yellow magic marker. Thus the title and thus the blinding yellow glare.
There is wisdom in this book, folks. Not the kind that comes from some new, multi-million dollar piece of research, but the kind we SHOULD already have and, instead -- through selfishness ,rationalization and pride -- ignore or relegate to some dark, unobtrusive corner of our mind. Well, Frosty makes these gems IMPOSSIBLE to ignore. Better yet, through charm and wit, he makes us determined to FOLLOW his and our own best advice. He makes us want to be more honest with ourselves!
I guess what I'm trying to say here is that Frosty makes common sense MAKE sense -- which is not to say there's any lack of new ideas, new perspectives here as well. There were dozens of times, while reading, that I actually placed the book in my lap, briefly, and thought, "Hmmmm, I never thought about it THAT way before."
With HOW to Deal with 21st Century American Women: Co-Creating a Successful Relationship we've been given the tools (and by the way, the book could just as easily have been titled HOW TO BE THE BEST, MOST FULFILLED 21st Century PERSON YOU CAN BE). What's more, we've been given the motivation, by one of the best motivational speakers and writers in the country. Now it is up to us; no excuses.

Rafting the Rolling Thunder: Journey Through the Grand Canyon, by Frosty Wooldridge; Author House, 2010, Paperback (5x8) $12.95 ISBN 9781434304681
"I am a long time ardent rafter--I've done the Stanislaus in a rubber Tahiti raft before that gorgeous river was ruined by the New Melones Dam, the South Fork of the American River which passes by Colonel Sutter's Mill location, the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, the largest wild river left in North America, and the famous Youghgheny Rivers' seven 3.5 rapids which can break your leg or drown you any day you try it.
Well, I must admit I have never done the rapids in the Colorado River, some of which are 5 in difficulty and now at 80 years old I guess I may not get there, although age has not kept me from much yet.
However, for those of you who have heard about this surging, screaming, sucking, sensation of a river, and may not be able to get there right now, there is a guy named Frosty Wooldridge who can take you there with the kind of vicarious thrill you get from the most action oriented movie. He will put you in his raft to feel, hear and squirm with delight all in the virtual safety and comfort of your Lazy Boy, very nearly experiencing what he describes so vividly.
This man has sought out more adventurous venues than most people now living. Biking around the planet, including across the USA 6 times, the latest the Summer of 2010, almost freezing at 18,000 feet in the Andes, and on and on, generally seeking out many other chances to test himself against elements of nature.
And for those who like the history, the geology, the natural beauty of hawks aloft, it's all described. The first American who wrote about this river rollercoaster ride was John Wesley Powell (1834-1902), who ran this river twice, when the Indians were hostile! He became the second Director of the US Geological Survey, then the founder of what is now The Cosmos Club in Washington, DC, whose members past and present are among our most famous scientists, writers, and leaders.
So you can really know when you read this page turner what "Rafting: The Rolling Thunder" of the Colorado feels like, looks like and thrills like! Don't miss your chance to get a truly insightful preview of that experience and then perhaps one day soon you can be like Frosty and his merry companions in doing the real thing! A wonderful read by a truly legitimate adventurer.

I felt the heat cook my hooves at ground level where it felt like walking alone in the middle of a farrier's furnace. Above us, vultures soared in the skies searching for road-kill. Yet, Howard pulled down the brim of his hat and pushed forward. I followed this cowboy because he was a Long Rider and I was his horse..."
