You Can Lead a Horse to Water (But You Can't Make It Scuba Dive)

A struggling family-mans tale with satirical wit straight out of Catch-22 and an unsung genius who might have wandered in from A Confederacy of Dunces (Ben East, author of Sea Never Dry). On the day of his firing, Sam Bennett packs his things, smokes a joint, then leaves a pressed ham on the glass of OConner Advertising. Thus begins what seems like a downward spiral, until Sam finds himself among a cast of characters who open his eyes to a world of live streaming, skinny dipping, and grass brownies. While he still fights the occasional panic attack and drags his son-in-law out of Lake Michigan, Sams learning that a margarita, sombrero, and a conga line can turn even a quiet Chicago suburb into a hedonistic free-for-all. What have you learned from this, Sam? Dr. Krupsky asks, sitting naked in the pool with a cigar. I should dance, Sam replies.
