I have just self-published a new work, the purpose of which is to give explanation to how my introvert mind works, and if I am successful in this, it should give some clues as to how the minds of most introverts work as well.
If you have followed me through my two volumes of dad jokes, The Ultimate Book of Dad Jokes, and Born to Pun, published by Ulysses Press, Berkeley, California, as well as my eight singlet volumes of The World’s 101 Worst Puns, Volumes I-VIII, self-published through CreateSpace, you have a bit of a feel for the meanderings of the mind of this wordsmith.
In this new volume I address more directly how my mind works, how I think, and what powers this bent mind, with a full-on picture window view of that inner sanctum most introverts frequent much of their lives. I hope much of this will be familiar to other introverts, and re-introduce to extroverts the world of wonder and intrigue from whence they, too, once sprang.
This volume, and all others I have penned, are available for purchase on Amazon.com –

About journeysofabentmind
Gordon is a Nisei, a second generation American of Japanese descent born in 1938 whose family owned a farm outside of Atwater, California in the San Joaquin Valley. His world was abruptly changed when on December 7, 1941 Japan’s Imperial Navy launched an early morning attack on Pearl Harbor. Thus began a chain of events that resulted in his family’s forced evacuation and internment in a “relocation center” in Colorado during the war.
After the war Gordon spent his teenage years in school and working on the family farm. He attended U.C. Berkeley and graduated in 1960 and went on to the Graduate School of Social Welfare at Berkeley earning a Masters in Social Welfare in 1963. He worked in a number of social service settings and last worked as a case manager for developmentally challenged clients in San Mateo, San Francisco, and Marin Counties until he retired in 2000.
When his wife Barbara retired in 2007 they moved to Eugene, Oregon following their children and grandchildren. Gordon lives with his wife of 55 years and close to the four grandchildren and life is just good.
