This is the book I thought I'd like to write but with a longer shelf-life, no editors, publishers, or art directors; just me and you. copyright 2024, Mannie Gentile

Mannie Gentile
Everybody seems to like me, even assholes that I have nothing in common with...I think that's because I'm such a good listener, and I have a keen sense of humor. So read this as if we were already friends, because we probably would be if you found your way here. Other stuff from me here: http://combathelmets.blogspot.com http://toysoldiersforever.blogspot.com
