Acknowledgements:

I would like to thank Dave Barry, Steve Martin, Cathy Guisewite, Dr. Phil McGraw and Jack Canfield of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, without whom this book would not have been possible.  I don’t actually know them, and they really had nothing to do with the inspiration, writing or publication of this book, but I could use some good reviews from a few famous people to stick on the back cover. So please send them in, and I’ll be happy to reciprocate. I would also like to thank Oprah Winfrey in part because I adore her and in part because if there is only the slightest chance mentioning Oprah will get me on her show it will be worth it.  Lastly, I would like to thank all the members of the Academy.  I know this book will never be nominated for an Oscar, but I may write a screenplay some day, and it’s never too soon to start kissing butt.
