Ascension Parish is a sweet spot along the Mississippi River, nestled between, and just far enough away from, New Orleans and Baton Rouge. The Parish is replete with any number of characters, many of whom, like the author, are products of the town of Donaldsonville, located on the west side of the river. Locals take pride in the fact that the Louisiana State Capitol was located in Donaldsonville from 1830 to 1831, primarily, the author believes, so that the State Legislators could hide from their wives. It was soon moved back to New Orleans where the entertainment consisted of more than watching the locals catch catfish in Bayou Lafourche.


Growing up in Donaldsonville was idyllic, at least in hindsight. It was a bustling town in an otherwise very rural parish. But times change, and the population of Ascension Parish, which includes the author, is now largely on the east bank of the Mississippi, with easy access to I-10, which, due to traffic congestion, doesn't provide easy access to anywhere. This book is based upon the author's experiences in Ascension Parish, both real and imaginary, and friendships and acquaintances, also both real and imaginary, having spent most of his best years in Ascension. In 2011 he formed a group known as the MOSS (Men Of Sixty Something), and touted it as the premier think-tank of Ascension Parish, solving problems both large and small. This book chronicles the (largely imaginary) undertakings of the MOSS.
