Should I write a book?

Thinking about writing a book detailing all of the funny and crappy events that have happened to me over the past decade or so. Excerpt from the TOC (more to come as I flush it out):

  1. Lessons Learned:  Don't hike an advanced trail in the Grand Canyon with noobs.
  2. Buying a house? Don't buy from Ma and Pa Kettle.
  3. Planning and executing a wedding by yourselves on a $6000 budget. Fugedaboutit!
    1. Where's the booze? Crap, she forgodaboutus!
  4. Never pitch your tent in a wash...it actually DOES rain in Arizona
    1. Where's our breakfast???  Denny's lost our ticket in the gravy, but didn't realize it for 2 hours.
  5. The Shasta experience: A fools tale on remodeling a pool
  6. Re-roofing your own house. 101 mistakes to avoid.
  7. Camping with 12k lb GVW rig and 5 days of solid rain
    • The broken(?) awning
    • Stuck in the mud - the Quad event
    • Stuck in the mud - the Truck event
    • Rescued by the damsel
  8. Emergency Iowa Trip - 2010
    • The trip up
      • i. Brights, we don’t need no stinking brights…
      • ii. Sleeping in 97 degree humid weather cause I'm too cheap to run the generator
      • iii. Colfax under water
    • While there
      • i. Dad in the hospital
      • ii. Funny things Stephen says
      • iii. Staining while its raining
    • The trip home
      • i. "Faulty wiring in trailer"
      • ii. If you need fuel and the won't let you change lanes, run em off the road!
      • iii. Texas on $80 in fuel - aka: roadside table in Texas
 
Feel free to remind me of other events that I may have missed or forgotten about. I'll add them to the final manuscript. :)

Hey Jason - Your comedy routine of a life goes back WWWAAAAYYY further than a "decade or so". Try, you know, 4 decades. Chapters could include "No, Really! I DIDN'T do it! (subtitled: Why siblings are frustrating)" and "Yes, we have EVERY.SINGLE.GAME that Atari made." Oh, and best "Holidays with the awesome cousins." :)

Let me know when the book starts to come together. Would love to read it!
