One of the most important questions you’ll ever ask in this lifetime can be answered only by the person looking back at you from your mirror.The question is: 'How do I find out who I am and what I want to do?'It usually doesn’t faze those who are lucky enough to have a clear picture of how they see themselves. The student heading for med. school knows what’s in store for him: the work, the respect, the honors, the money, the quickie with Nurse Florence Nightenhot under the O.R. table, the nine-iron, the sand trap and the malpractice suit. But what about the students who have been unable to latch onto specific goals? The English majors, liberal arts majors, the economics majors. What will it be for them? A career in business, a chief executive of IBM? Or will they be running a fast-food stand selling 'The Whopper?'There’s no statute of limitations on deciding what you want to be. The verdict can come a year after college, or five years after or possibly longer. And even if one does make a concrete decision, the concrete can crack pretty fast because things change.With Howard Albrecht, that fellow we all know and love, it took twenty years but he finally found, 'what he wanted to do in life' write comedy for the likes of Bob Hope, Dean Martin, Alan King, Bob Newhart, Dom DeLuise and many, many others. That decision has given him, for the past thirty some odd years, a great deal of pleasure, pain, excitement, stress, anger, contentment, and out and out fun. This memoir tells of those years and his adventures in the laugh trade.
