This book is a compilation of thoughts, beliefs, and philosophies of an older writer; experienced, no longer trying to discover but rather trying to refine who he is. Educational degrees, professional endeavors, and life experiences are in place. His many failures and successes have been analyzed. He has plenty of time to write. Being older, however, he does wonder if he is becoming a curmudgeon, unwilling to bend, not wanting to change, not willing to learn anything new. The author's words create a document that is at the same time provocative and endearing.
Zoe and Tod, who have been married for several years, have successful careers, but feel something is missing. They try to resolve the problem by taking a trip on the Chesepake bay. They experience the bay's beauty along with the mystery of a half-crazed crabber, whose lover drowned years ago. After discovering what appears to be a feral child, complications ensue, including an encounter with a ghost on the bay, and Zoe becoming severely ill from a parasitic amoeba. The story ends with an unexpected resolution to their problem.

DRUG TESTING EXPOSED LOOPHOLES AND TRADE SECRETSImagine that you and your family are targeted, threatened and extorted by criminals. You turn to law enforcement only to be told that you are acceptable collateral damage in the bigger picture. What would you do?Join author Mike Bonventre as he embarks on a three decade odyssey that took him from a defiant victim to a deep undercover organized crime & narcotics consultant to a nationally recognized drug test consultant, collector, trainer and drug industry expert.

Are they your neighbors - or even family members?Next, pull up a seat and be prepared to learn about the drug and alcohol testing industry. Why should you care? Have you flown on a plane, ridden on a bus or worked in a safety sensitive job? Then you know - first hand - how important a solid drug testing program is. It comes down to safety - your safety. Observe as the author takes you through the loopholes and trade secrets that undermine and threaten that very safety.
