The Driveway Rules

The Driveway Rules is my book of memoirs. It focuses on my struggles when it comes to dating but also has fun entries about various adventures in my life. I am introspective and have learned a lot about my struggles through the years. The point of our struggles is to use them as an opportunity for growth and perhaps to help others later in life. This book is poignant, philosophical and humorous. Next to penicillin laughter is the best medicine.

The Driveway rules will take you through my childhood up until my wedding at age forty-seven. You will read about my social struggles. Often in the context of dating but also when it comes to relating to my peers. The first four chapters all contain entries that can be read individually and make for fun one-offs. You can read any of these entries on their own and they stand on their own. The last three chapters need to be read all the way through in order. There is a focus on a major failed relationship, a time when I struggled with depression and my relationship with my wife, MariaElena. You will get to know many of my personal philosophies, the importance of rules in my life and how they guide me and why hearing I Will Always Love You does not induce fond memories.
