But, I do contribute to humanity in one very important way: I share my adventures with the world. --from the Introduction Actual reader feedback: "I find it truly appalling that there are people in the world like you.

You’re an artist of the highest order and a true humanitarian to boot. I'm in both shock and awe at how much I want to be you."
