A List of Household Chores Becomes a Hilarious Challenge…with Dire Consequences!

Jack Gardner is used to enjoying his retirement…after a fashion. Caught up in tilting against the windmills of societal and political stupidities, resenting his exercise treadmill, and making the perfect breakfast, Jack manages to avoid full realization of the fact that he and his wife Emily are drifting apart. One fateful day, Emily dares him to complete the Honey Do List of neglected household chores by 7:30 that evening…and if he fails, he has to buy her a pair of $1800 earrings she’s had her eye on. With only $2000 in his account until the next pension check, Jack is in a race against time. He’s confident that he will win the bet, but he’s forgotten about Murphy’s Law, and as evening approaches, he’s frustrated, thwarted, embarrassed, injured, and convinced that everything he does will turn to one of the many words he uses for excrement. But the biggest surprise is yet to come, as he wraps up his day and heads to dinner with his wife and neighbors, who teach him a lesson he won’t forget. The Honey Do List is a fantastically entertaining read: fast-paced, full of humor, and populated with zany characters. Join Jack in his quest to beat the clock, and enjoy the ride!
