    [synopsis] => When Brian Sack's mother passed away, he was left with a letter and a pink cardigan. The cardigan was promptly placed in a drawer, but the letter was pure gold. In just a few pages of fancy cursive, her posthumous dispatch offered the kind of guidance you would expect from a mother to her young son. And while he didn't necessarily follow all the advice, he never forgot how very important those words-and that letter-were to him. Decades later, on the verge of parenthood himself, Brian decided to write something for his own child, wanting a legacy, and not just a pink cardigan, to leave to his son. But far from the usual collection of advice, Brian has written a sharp, sage, warts-and-all survival guide to life.
	With quick wit and self-deprecating honesty, Sack draws from his experiences, tapping them for the humor within. Holding nothing back, he:
•	Gives the skinny on relationships-don't let the woman you love wander alone in France
•	Commiserates about the death of the meritocracy-wanting to sing doesn't mean you can
•	Recounts his awkward entry into fatherhood-you'll overcome your aversion to poo
•	Offers firsthand advice-avoid any bipolar lady with a drug-sniffing wonder-cat
•	And argues that the Empire State Building is not a phallic symbol-no matter what the professor said
	Every chapter takes on subjects ranging from the universal and mundane to the life changing and inevitable. With its funny and heartfelt musings from a father to a son, In the Event of My Untimely Demise is a delightful life primer for all of us.
