I figured it would be a few short stories for my kids to read when they were old enough. Not so much because I wanted to leave a legacy but because I’ve lived through some crazy stuff. I wanted to show them just how nuts it could all get but how spectacular it could be as well. I hoped they would be able to find some sort of lesson in it and maybe live a little better because of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat ended up happening is the book that you hold in your hands.
