Wally Trabing spent more than 30 years playing at work. Readers of his columns in the Santa Cruz Sentinel were both delighted and enlightened by his words. His subjects ranged from examining his own grocery shopping behaviors to interviews with the down and out in the county jail. Rarely do readers get the chance to ride the ping pong ball of a writer's thoughts and words the way we do when playing along with Wally Trabing. Enjoy the fun with this compilation of columns about his family life, both as a child in Kingsburg and Watsonville, California, and as an adult in England and Santa Cruz, California.
