You see Mom was very pregnant with me and was inadvisably moving a heavy clay pickle crock in the garage, unpacking from the big move to our new house. She felt a twinge and soon was in labor with me a full month early. I have a few peculiarities which I attribute to the extra month of prenatal development that I didn't get. Just ask my wife and kids, they'll tell you that my brain function is impaired. I'll let you be the judge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt Started with a Pickle Crock\u003c\/em\u003e takes a look at my life, using embarrassing pictures of myself and others whenever possible. It covers my childhood with stories about my big sister, ill-advised neighborhood games, adolescent science experiments, poker, football, and dancing.

The final chapter is a compilation of random things presented in Jeopardy format. Ready? Hands on buzzers.
