Summary:
"If you ever wanted a second chance, if you ever wanted to do it all
over and do it right, then listen to Joe Kita. He did it for all of
us." (Regis Philbin) We all have our regrets, but rarely do we give
ourselves a chance to try to do anything about them. After turning
forty, Joe Kita set out to relive his top-twenty personal regrets. In
Another Shot he recounts his adventures-from the hilarious to the
poignant. Dismayed that he may have missed his sexual peak, he
convinces his wife to enroll with him in sex camp. Bemoaning the
selling of his first love, a powerhouse Camaro, he hires a private
detective to find it. Still smarting from the sting of getting cut
from his high school basketball team, he convinces his alma mater's
coach to let him try out for the squad again-more than twenty years
later. Above all, though, it's Kita's relationships with his family
that haunt him. His interaction with his mother has always been
strained, and he attempts to understand her by taking her out for a
special night. Kita even tries to get in touch with his late father
through a medium because he never got to say goodbye. At once witty
and profound, Another Shot offers a glimpse into the hopes and
worries of a regular guy and speaks to everyone about not letting
regrets keep us from enjoying the rest of our lives.
