About this ebook

There are a finite number of self-appointed, supposedly superior people who tend to lump the balance of humanity into a category known as “laymen,” “lay woman”, “lay person” or “lay people.”

Every day, everywhere, people seek each other out to talk about their ailments, their politics, their religion, the national debt, sports, sex and, an all time favorite, other people, which is the fodder for the really juicy gossip. Each of us has an opinion. Each is convinced that his or her answer is the Answer.

We frequently tell ourselves that the rest of the world wallows around in a manure pile, then knowingly hang and shake our heads before going about our daily businesses in a reverie of imaginatively constructed self-righteousness. There seem to be more answers than problems bobbing about on the sea of humanity. Layman’s License poses a few more answers as well as a few more questions. This book is a little bit about a lot!

D. R. Prescott

As a former Fortune 500 aerospace executive for over thirty years and a planetarium program director for an additional ten years, Donald Richard Prescott has been planning and managing successful, complex operations for decades where strategic planning is an essential tool. A revealing stint as director of strategic planning and service on local government planning committees provided opportunities to speak to and participate in groups about complex strategic issues as well as appearing in a local cable documentary about transportation and community development. He has interfaced with congressional and governmental leaders, directly participating in securing millions of dollars of governmental funding for two local projects. Prescott has also written and published award winning short stories (Concoctions), a science fiction novel (Daddy's Different), a nonfiction book about avoiding human extinction (Is There Time?), and a book of essays (Layman's License). He has written a full-length-three-act play, planetarium show/display scripts, two family histories, technical articles and business plans as well as edited several newsletters. Recent awards and published work include multiple Writers’ Journal “Write to Win! Contest” awards/publication, The Orange County Register Dreamscape Contest publication, placing in Writer’s Digest competitions, Long Story Short E-zine short story publications and internationally published short stories/essay in The Taj Mahal Review as well as awards on Writing.com among others. He currently writes and explores life in Orange, California.
