"Joe Roberts" Caputo

"Some things are so incredible that they border on the magical."

After a high school accident diverted me from becoming an auto mechanic, I pursued radio school, launching a 50-year career in radio and TV broadcasting. I worked as a disc jockey in the Southwest before moving to New York City, spending 17 years at a top-rated station. My love for golf led me to host a Travel Channel show, playing signature holes worldwide while sharing tips with pros.

After my wife's early passing, I continued life with my three children, seven grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren in a condo overlooking a golf course in Coram, NY.

I began writing novels at 75, starting with a story about miraculous visions that raise money for the poor. Other works include The Right Number, a tale of unexpected love; Johnny Crystal, about a small but brilliant millionaire; and The Boy Who Painted Rainbows, set in 18th-century Germany, featuring a gifted orphan whose music is like painting with rainbows.

The Tug: Sometimes, you just have to go on a hunch.

A girl considered “gangly,” turns out to be anything but in a life that takes her from her home in Brooklyn to Salt Lake City and the Summer Olympics. Along the way, she has the undying support of her eventual soul mate, some surrogate parents, and the worship of a baby sister. Possessed of pert natural athletic abilities, she embarks on a strenuous plan to succeed as few women have in track and field. Tragedy strikes but is soothed by events that eventually lead her to a place in her life she never could have imagined.

Thoughts, Musings & Observations III

Pity the newly minted grandparents, who can’t hug their new grandbabies.
It would be interesting to learn who is paying for all the bottles and bricks. Peaceful protesters don’t carry bricks. Convicted looters should be sentenced to pay for, and clean up their mess. Someone once said that all it takes for evil to succeed, is for good people to do nothing.

Thoughts, Musings, and Observations: An Antholgy of Aphorisms and Essays by “Joe Roberts” Caputo

This a collection of writings by 89-year-old “Joe Roberts” Caputo. In addition to writing some 16 novels over the years, Joe has observed the Human Condition with interest and critical thinking. Many of the one-liners carry a thought in just a few words. Others cause one to start thinking at a different level. There are also a number of essays describing some day-to-day situations. Many of them evoke a thought or two. Others, a tear or two. Then there are the essays in which Joe gives a personality to inanimate objects. i.e. A Pebble. A leaf. Snow. Sunshine. It is a novel way of looking at everyday things. Another instance of streching your imagination. There is something for everyone who is looking for humor and wisdom.
