Seldom Disappointed: A Memoir is the 2001 autobiography of author Tony
Hillerman.
The title reflects the attitude that he learned as a child living on a
farm in Oklahoma;
if one learns not to have unrealistic expectations, one will often be
pleasantly surprised and seldom disappointed.

    "For everyone else, to miss what the New York Times Book Review called
a "splendid and disarming remembrance of things past," would be a
downright shame"
 (Quoted in Sooner Magazine, Fall 2002)



Just learned he passed away last fall.  I was hoping for a follow-up
to ShapeShifters,
always felt that Jim Chee had a lot of potential as a traditional
singer and had just
hit a plateau...
