Bettye Davis's first memoir, A Spanky Dale Fishy Catfish Day, begins in the sixties when Davis, now a young girl, journeys to Lake Washington with her mom, dad, and five siblings on a fishing expedition that ends rather abruptly. It is a narrative of an African American Southern family who briefly spends some wholesome quality time on the bank of Lake Washington, catching fish for dinner and relaxing prior to the unforeseen disruptive circumstances of the day.The setting of the narrative takes place inside her bedroom as she overhears her father conversing with her mom concerning their plans for the day. Riding to rural areas were weekly excursions for the family. The journeys oftentimes involved fishing, gathering of wild greens in early spring, picking watermelons in the hot summertime out of the gardens of friends and relatives, or receiving cured, smoked pork for the cold winter months ahead. Everyday life experiences while growing up in the Mississippi Delta helped in the fashioning of fictional and nonfictional characters, places, and things in this book. The rhyming story in this book is written to discourage mischievousness and to inspire and promote a sense of humor that can be universally relatable and enjoyed, as well, by the intended audience.

What the Heck Happened to the Last 30 40 Years is the culmination of a number of years of wondering where the instructions were for aging. Each look back was putting me further and further from my most favorite years of life! Dear heavens! It was 50 friggin' years behind me in junior college--my age of discovery!Having had my mother live with us for her last 7 years of life, I had gotten insight into end of life when it dawned on me, oh no, we're the next in the steady progression! Where's that elusive instruction book? Where are the directions for how to handle what's going on with this galloping continuum?So I decided to provide it. This is a collection of bits of advice, interviews with 19- through 95-year-olds on their views of aging and vignettes on some, Facebook humor and wise words, medical heads-up on things that could show up, instructions, good stuff about getting older (really), and craziness from the mind of a not-quite-right 69-year-old who, turned loose, feels every age group could use some warning about the effects of aging!

In January of 2012, a new theory was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. Our universe's galaxies appeared to all be accelerating outward! What was causing this continuous acceleration was claimed to be dark energy. This appeared to convince the Nobel Prize Committee that these astrophysicists would eventually solve the mystery of dark energy.As a highly experienced retired problem solver looking for a juicy challenge, I realized that it was quite possible that this team of physicists had created a mystery worthy of my skill as an accomplished problem solver. Possibly I might successfully discover any flaw in their theory.However, I realized that without my knowing what really created our universe, it would have been nearly impossible for me to solve this problem. So instead I began to search the universe for mysteries that might suggest what could have created our universe. I found seventeen, which all suggested that for one reason or another, it had to be some sort of a violent collision that could have created our universe (as opposed to the explosion predicted in the big bang theory).Each of these seventeen theories turned out to have great significance in proving what far more likely created our universe. This would also include my discovery that the big bang theory could not possibly have created our universe. Additionally it would prove that our universe's galaxies are all actually decelerating back to the origin as originally believed, invalidating the hypothesis that our universe's galaxies are all accelerating outward, with scientifically credible proof supporting this claim--the claim that if two black holes had been far enough apart and collided at a great enough speed, they could have expelled enough physical matter to have created our universe.These seventeen mysteries contributed to my success in solving the mystery of what led directly into the cosmic collision theory, which also helped to solve some of the seventeen mysteries and proved that our universe's galaxies are all decelerating back to the origin, the enormous black hole at the center of our universe.Additionally there's a chapter in this theory proving that Albert Einstein's search for his hypothetical cosmological constant could never have resulted in establishing his constant. It would have always been his "e;inconstant,"e; constantly varying! This same condition also applies to Edwin Hubble's search for a similar constant to use in simplifying his findings with no luck. This cosmic collision theory also solves these mysteries.If this cosmic collision theory is correct, every one of our universe's galaxies will eventually decelerate back to the origin. Don't panic! This might take at least a billion or more years or so, giving our civilization the time to discover another inhabitable planet to move to, preferably in a much more distant galaxy in our universe! How we would get there is for future scientists to figure out.FYI, this writer is now going into his ninety-second year. It consumed some nine years of research and contemplation to develop this almost-all-inclusive theory of almost everything pertaining to the current existence of our universe.Note: This cosmic collision theory is written completely in conversational English suitable for all readers from high school and up. There are no equations, charts, or Greek symbols! The typical reader will have little problem in understanding the explanations in plain English. 1March 10 2017 Submission to Writer's forum, Victor G. Lipshutz
