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

             in real life situations. You must look beyond your opponents
             apparent capabilities to be a contender in any game, espically the

             will not get decieved eaisly in my lifetime. 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.
             Just Dessert was a good story on how people do not like to be
             made a fool of. This story's focus was on practical jokers. The
             message I received from this writing was that people don't like
             practical jokers even if their motifs are just for fun. You also must be
             careful because that joke can turn foul and hit you right back in the
             face. That is exactly what happened to the men who t...
