Book excerpt: Many opportunities surface only once. When meeting challenges, too often you'll only fire off one round. Make it your best shot. In 3 to Get Ready, Frank Herbert Spittle reviews life’s aspects through “the way I see it,” examining mistakes, and remedies for surviving rough patches. He offers a collection of essays, examinations, revelations, memoirs, and lamentations, all spiced with the humor found throughout his writings. The big puzzler: how to prepare the way for enjoying ones hundredth birthday. It’s a large order, but everyone alive holds the gift of thirty additional years more than generational predecessors. We’re all living longer.
