A life-journey through time, space, and spirit during which the son remembers his father's stories while trying to work out his own story. His attempts to impose rational order on both outrageous cosmic and peculiar personal experience are often frustrating. A child of his times, his embrace of sixties idealism takes him from optimism to disappointment to a scientific inquiry into the possibility of using space-time travel to find a better world. The unforseen results of that inquiry prove to be even stranger than the culture shock he endured upon finding himself immersed in a truly alien Hippy culture after moving to the San Francisco Bay area. It is a story of loss, hope, and unexpected strangeness where weighty considerations of Good versus Evil are balanced by simpler pleasures like catching a fly ball - or trying to.
