A Few Well Chosen Words

A Few Well Chosen Words is the third collection of David Bouchier’s entertaining, enlightening, and sometimes exasperated weekly commentaries on his life in America, originally broadcast on public radio stations WSHU and WSUF during Morning Edition. Every week for the past twelve years Bouchier has plucked a topic from the chaos of everyday life and subjected it to his special brand of ironic scrutiny. Nothing is too small or too vast to attract his attention: stuffed bears, NASCAR racing, reincarnation, the federal tax system, and shopping in Florida all find a place in this spirited and very funny  collection of observations and opinions.”
