This book compiles the despatches from 2015 and 2016 that were first sent by email to about fifty friends, family, and colleagues. In some ways these are more refined and polished than the original despatches. In some ways, they are more irreverent. Some feature much creative license. Others just skewer the stupid. There's almost certainly something to offend everyone. Enjoy!

From the first volume:

Books By This Author American Despatches: 2011-2014: Wit, Wisdom, and Humor from Life's Adventures These essays were born from a business trip to New Orleans that turned into an adventure almost from the git go. The initial experiences in Dallas Love Field at the inception of the trip spurred me to chronicle the adventure by email to a few friends and colleagues. The one-day trip turned into four and generated seven total emails (actually eight if you count the final, men's only despatch that might be a tad too racy to include here), which I quickly dubbed "despatches." They were well-received by the handful of folks who read them, and I enjoyed writing them. The concept lay dormant for about six months. Then, we went on vacation to Gulf Shores, Alabama.

Life generated material even before we left for that trip. Two days in, it was apparent that there would be another series of despatches. And there was. After that I decided to make an effort to write these whenever material presented itself. Most subsequent ones are single, standalone essays rather than a series. There are a few with more than one part, but most things spawn individual despatches.

A word about the writing and topics is in order. Nothing is sacred. Read enough of these and you'll find some things you disagree with and one or two that outright offend you. Don't fret though: you'll be in good company. More important, offended or not, if any of them make you think, you and society, will be better off.
