With a Yes and a Yippee explores both the inner and outer worlds of a boy growing up in a small, insulated, Mid-western town during one of America's most trying and tear stained periods. People were inching themselves out of the Great Depression, and inexorably edging towards the precipice of a planet at war. Yet, inexplicably, for those too young and innocent to recognize a world struggling to hold itself together, life was good, even blessed. The book takes the reader by skips and jumps from the author's miraculous conception (they all are) to the day, at the age of seventeen, he left home to enter the United States Air Force.
THE LOST TRIBE OF THE LAUGHING YIPPEE is an illustrated story of an ancient civilization that was notable for the way they valued laughter and smiling the same way we assign importance to cash, possessions and power today. What became of these joyful people when they lost their laughter? Is it possible to embody their silly wisdom now and restore our zest for life? Laughter Coach, Michele Caskey offers a whimsical and refreshingly insightful parable for modern times, based upon her work helping people restore their vitality by expanding their experience of laughter. THE LOST TRIBE OF THE LAUGHING YIPPEE will inspire you to question whether there is enough laughter, celebration and positive energy in your life, with gentle encouragement to smile more and grumble less.

"Come out to the coast, we'll get together, have a few laughs." That line, from one of many quotable moments from Die Hard, was an on the spot insertion during filming by actor Bruce Willis and director John McTiernan. That's just one of numerous ad lib or almost accidental elements added to the film which make it such a memorable modern classic. When Die Hard premiered in July 1988 John McClane didn't just become a fly in Hans Gruber's ointment, he heralded in a new era of action movies, inspired countless knock-off action movies best described as "Die Hard in a" or "Die Hard on a" copycats, and created a franchise that spanned five decades (if you include the 2020 Die Hard battery commercial). Even thirty-five years later it continues to inspire heated annual debates regarding the film's status as a Christmas movie. This guide, lovingly researched by a die-hard (pun completely intended) fan of the 1988 action-adventure blockbuster collects trivia, behind-the-scenes stories of the movie, the script, the actors, and the books and other written material that Die Hard and several of the follow-on films in the franchise were based on or inspired by.
