Parts 1-3 illustrate my childhood adventures, habits, pastimes, family structure, hilarious moments, relatives' antics, and stable home environment within western Pennsylvania! I also outline my diverse college experience at Penn State University. For you, younger folks, that might be compelling since you can see/read how I accomplished my goals that might mirror your own. On the other hand, you might want to follow my advice on what NOT to do if you walk in my shoes!Parts 4-7, in my second compilation, reflect my career progress, advancement, promotions, and all my ventures across the USA, from Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio, to Georgia, Florida, then retreating back up North again before bravely migrating down South again in northern Virginia, then Texas! Millennials and middle-aged adults may find these texts more appealing. Having said that, if you are spiritual or follow GOD, then part 7 is absolutely critical for your soul's progress! It describes my three-year ministry (similar to Jesus) as well as my own insights, wisdom, facts, fictions, illusions, and horrors gleamed from my forty years of experience as well as my conversations with GOD!1
This is a literary composition composed for those who feel like nobody's listening. For my comrades, my mom and my dad, and my two sisters who showed me what it means to be different. For the drug addicts that fiend but still dream of better conditions, huddled with puddles on pillows with Brillos and pipes, not bathed or slept in days, high as a kite. For the single parents that struggle working doubles, taxing their muscles so their children can comfortably cuddle and sleep at night. For the people looking for peace through the pieces of life, each intricate piece significant in this puzzle of life. I speak for the weak, for the innocent lives that died in the streets. For Kaylen, my nephew, and for Kaira, my niece. I'm standing tall for my uncle Paul who died at the homeless shelter in his sleep. For my aunt Vanessa--God bless her; she left us at peace. For hip-hop unlocking the key and making this an option for me. For my ancestors, the investors in this struggle who made it possible for me. For Thomas Edison, for constituting this beautiful medicine for me. For the Almighty, who told him rightly it's only right that we have the freedom to speak. And for giving me this platform as a uniform for community outreach. Through the eyes of a crying soul. My fears have been exposed through the windows of my soul...through the eyes of a crying soul.
In sixth grade, every child was musically tested to try to grow the marching bands in high school. I wanted to play a saxophone. The band directors wanted me to carry a tuba (since I was one of the bigger children). I compromised (to myself) and got a friend in junior high to teach me to play drums whereupon my parents fretted that I would do drugs. I surprised them by playing in rock and roll bands for about seven years. My first big project as a structural engineer was the inner dome to Space Mountain for the Buena Vista Corporation in a place called Kissimmee, Florida. As a project engineer, I learned to coordinate designs for constructors to build. My dad thought I would be an architect since I liked to draw. (In my hometown's phone directory, there were two pages of architects but only a third of a page of civil-structural engineers. Easy decision.) I have enjoyed stories from firemen I have associated with. They can be very humorous. I have enjoyed Justin Wilson's stories and Jerry Clower's funny wit. God bless them. I wish they were still alive so I could autograph my book for them like they did for me. Not that this is on their level, but I try to present my life stories to entertain and just make the reader feel good, have some memories, and smile.

Perhaps like this author you have a retirement account with savings invested in a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds across industry sectors and financial markets. At the encouragement of your financial advisor, you may hold some international securities, including assets in emerging market economies like Hong Kong, which has long been one of the investment darlings of U.S. mutual fund managers. You would not be happy to learn, I suspect, that some of your foreign investment savings might be commingled with overseas money generated from illicit commerce, in particular Asian sex trafficking. That's the discovery of three Americans on vacation in Asia who get caught up in, and find themselves forced to thwart, a Hong Kong-based Chinese crime syndicate scheme to take control of Thailand's economy. The Hong Kong Gambit tells a fictional story based on the very real world of international illicit human trafficking that destroys lives of young girls and threatens the economic stability and progress of countries like Thailand.
What are we looking for when we buy a book to read? A sigh of time when the body relaxes and the brain still works, an escape to another place and time. Entertainment in any venue, whether it be action, inspirational, educational, dark, light, comedy, "how to," and on and on, "different strokes for different folks."This book is different in that it is made up of thirty writings, each piece was written in my own personal style. I have a mailing list of thirty people that have read each piece as it was written, and from them, perhaps a hundred more read each piece. Many of these readers encouraged me to put the pieces into book form and let everyone read them. So here we are, I hope you find this book entertaining and enlightening, incremental reading at its best.
Bill Sims, a highly respected college professor, while working on a master's degree in religious studies, had cemented in memory these poignant words of Father Earl Jones, a Jesuit priest and professor: "True science should never conflict with true religion. Science is based on measurement and observation and religion on philosophy and logic; the two, though based on different studies, should complement each other, not conflict." Later in his career, driven by those wise professor's words, Sims made the decision to devote a major amount of time to design, construct, and teach a college-level religious course having the express purpose of employing logic and common sense. He hoped to help students and perhaps others to avoid mental, physical, and spiritual roadblocks caused by science vs. religion controversies, which have been known to freeze the paving of one's pathway to Heaven. Sims asked the students to travel with him and then walked them through the Old and New Testaments, alpha through omega and beyond while answering their questions and concerns. His classroom discussions were full of surprises, so be prepared to be pleased or annoyed depending on where you're coming from and where you hope to be in life's journey.
