July 20, 1969.....and, what I was watching on television...." I smoked pot for the first time. It wouldn't be the last. https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLxpNiF0YKs With a manuscript of 73 pages, it is a veritable smörgåsbord of insightful observations on topical issues - including culture, politically correct safe spaces, spirituality, the South, immigration and provocative reflections of revealing life experiences including altar boy, heart attack and stand-up comedy. All are written with a vibe, clarity, passion and heavy doses of much wit and nuggets of wisdom. A little book with a big punch. An easy read with thought-provoking power: "precise, authentic, heartfelt, funny, and moving," one reviewer wrote. "...And I know, dear reader, if you stick with me, you will see I know a lot more. Or think I do. Whatever your persuasion, you are bound to agree, disagree, even offended or amused or all of these. You may not like some of what I say, but I think you will like the way I say it." - Charles Jackson
