One of the initiatives that I took in life to get by was to hitchhike when I needed to travel. When I would hitchhike I would tell my host driver stories for entertainment out of gratitude for giving me a ride. I tried to tell stories that were about my experiences and that were entertaining and educational. These included brushes with fame including Bill Gates, who I made the richest person in the world, and my struggles with growing up with a disability. You be the judge. I decided to compile my stories in a book for you. Imagine me with my thumb out on the side of the road. Pick me up for the drive and be entertained and educated.
