The pressures and demands of the outside world hold no sway there- the crowd at Boyle's is his family, and with family all sins are forgiven.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut reality cannot be kept at bay forever, and now Rodney's best friend and partner in inertia, Keith, is getting married and moving to Chicago. Since Rodney has for the most part enjoyed his bachelorhood vicariously through Keith, the prospect of being single, middle-aged, unemployed, and without his pal to while away the nights with is causing Rodney to rethink--or rather, create--his priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Keith introduces him to the lovely Mairead (rhymes with \u003ci\u003eparade\u003c\/i\u003e), a cheerful career woman who seems to enjoy his bad puns, ambitionless nature, and love of literature, Rodney can spy an honorable path to grown-up-hood at last. But a series of comic mishaps jeopardize his budding relationship with Mairead, his friendship with Keith, and most serious of all, his place on a barstool in the idyllic world of Boyle's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTEVE RUSHIN\u003c\/b\u003e, the author of the nonfiction books \u003ci\u003eRoad Swing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Caddie Was a Reindeer\u003c\/i\u003e, wrote a beloved weekly column called Air \u0026amp; Space for \u003ci\u003eSports Illustrated\u003c\/i\u003e from 1998 to 2007.
