 ow\, in this collection of insightful and hilarious essays\, Eric finds hi
 mself doing things completely out of character\, starting with moving back
  to his perpetually misunderstood hometown of Baltimore. They say you can'
 t go home again\, but what if you and home have changed beyond recognition
 ? From attending his twenty-year high school reunion and discovering anoth

 th blood &agrave\; la The Shining\, to being terrorized by a plague of gay
  frogs who've overtaken his backyard\, Eric provides the nitty\, and somet
 imes gritty\, details of wrestling with your past life while in the middle
  of a new one. With wit\, heart\, and hope for the future\, Congratulation
 s\, The Best Is Over! is the not-so-gentle reminder we all need that even 
 when life doesn't go according to plan\, we can still find our way back ho
