The opening to Steve Martin's classic comedy, "The Jerk" was, "I was born a poor black child." Well, I wasn't, I was born Chinese, and after many years of surgery, you'd never know it.....just joking...got to have a sense of humor. Anywho, I was born to a middle class white family. Dad was a cop to the bone and brought us up to be tough and I thank him for that. Mom was Mom, she raised us with loving care, cleaned, cooked, and did wifey things. All in all it was a pretty good up bringing with lots and lots of adventures. Unfortuately, this caused me to become addicted to adventure and have many tales and scars to prove it. As Auntie says "Curiosity killed the cat, but satifaction brought it back." I would like to share all the stories eventually, well, not all. I am a gentleman who never kisses and tells.....you get more kisses that way. At any rate, I hope this book is a success because their are social issue projects I would like to begin..Thanks and I wish you all luck.
