Completely exhausted from 12 years of dealing with customers and people in general, I quit my sixty-thou a year job and embarked on a cross-country journey in my Jeep. No more ringing phones, no more slandering customers, no more asinine bosses, and no more comforts of home. It was time to seek out the inner-depths of my soul. Time to gallivant around the United States like a Free Man. Here are some snippets of the non- fiction book I wrote on a laptop while I toured the country.

LAYOUT

"Tales" is cataloged into seven parts across three pages.

2. Northern Arizona (including some weird Grand Canyon observations.)
3. Colorado (with a visit to my old college roommate Josh and his fiance Krista.)

Page Two
4. Chicago (Better just have eight of those $8 martinis on the 95th Floor.)
5. North Carolina (Howard's Pub & late-night blasts down the pristine beaches.)
6. Alabama/Tennessee (a visit to the JD distillery where that yummy/awful creation is born. )

Page Three
7. Bahamas (a week in the Bahamas to unwind & study some Hunter S. Thompson.)
