Callahan chronicals
After reading the Callahan Chronicals I have come to realize that there are many things to be learned in life. This book captured my attention by trying to figure out just what it is that Spider Robinson is trying to pass on to the reader. I have come to the conclusion that the author is trying to portray real life situations with a little twist to keep the reader interested. There is a lesson to be learned from each story. Each visitor that passes through Mike Callahan's bar is teaching the people who are already there a lesson and there is In the Centipede's Dilemma I learned that apperance really dosen't matter. Dink Fogerty led the whole bar to believe that he was incapable of even throwing a dart but then he, dispite his image, used telekinesis (mind over matter) to project the darts into the dartboard with tremendus accuracy. You cannot just sleep on your opponents in real life situations. You must look beyond your opponents apparent capabilities to be a contender in any game, espically the game of life. If you don't you will surely get stepped on throughout your life. If the people at Callahan's didn't catch on to Dink'
I learned from this that it is good to help good people even if they play you for some cash. There are things in life that you must be ready for and I think that this book helped open some windows for me to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. All you have to do in certain situations is kill them with kindness. Mike felt bad for the since they were so nice about everything and nobody ever gave them a chance. The Callahan Chronicals is a great way to learn about life in a relatively enjoyable way. He had seen a man like this before and he ended up blasting four men with a gun. They were all ready for a prank since there was serious money on the line. Fogerty wasn't all that bad though, any bird that can keep their glass filled with gin all the time would be a good companion for mostly anyone. You also must be careful because that joke can turn foul and hit you right back in the face. I have learned to look for things like this now and will not get decieved eaisly in my lifetime. The people at Callahan's did no such thing though. He was just living by his own rules and he could not change. The men planned to drink heavily and pull the old fake vomit gag. I wouldn't like it done to me so I will stick to the golden rule.
