My journey is for me, myself and I. You will never understand it…I don’t expect you to. However, by you reading… would only make you smarter or even more wise just by reading period. Maybe…just maybe one day HISTORY WILL STOP REPEATING. So turn off the news and pick up a copy today on Amazon and/or Barnes and Noble.

Hi, Meadowcreek Class of 88-92 friends
Last week Mark McAbee gave me our Meadowcreek High School CDs to watch…such a nostalgic moment. I think you all should watch it also. Mark gave me the green light to convert them into YouTube…I hope it’s OK with you all. Maybe Alex can share this with the Meadowcreek page.
Below is the YouTube link. I will get the ’88 and ’89 year uploaded within the next few days. Decrypting and converting these dinosaur videos are painful. Anyway, enjoy!!!
Years of the “big hair and fake tanning”. FYI, the CD was 2 hours long, so I broke it out in four segments.

As most of you know…English is my second language. It’s hard enough for me to talk correctly and writing is another…well, “Foooorget ‘bout it!” (in a New York accent). Luckily, I have a Mom as a teacher and a teacher as a Mom. Some of you who have read my book contacted me and gave me your heartfelt reviews. And, some of you have even shared your emotions here on Facebook.

This week, a High School friend of mine Mark McAbee, called me and said… “I have no words” man. We talked for about an hour. He ordered 4 more books for his family. Back when I was in High School, I didn’t have the money to buy a yearbook, so he made me copies of our High School senior year video on a CD…that had a lot of me in them and gave it to me. Can't wait to watch it. That’s LOVE, my friend. For my kids…I’m privileged. Thank You Mark…it’s priceless.

This morning, I spoke with another High School friend…Alex Paucer. I told him that Mark ordered 4 more books. I asked him…” is the book really that good or is he just being nice”? He said, “It was really good and I believe, that during this time in our society, we need to hear stories like yours…to be thankful and appreciate what we have and not take things for granted”. He has yelled and screams for people to read my book. Thanks, for helping me promote my book Alex. I cannot be more honored…

I wish you all “peace”

Hi, yawl,
Due to COVID-19, our Suwanee library is still closed. With that said, I will be at Cheeky this Saturday, Aug. 1st supporting our local restaurant and for the book signing. If you happen to be around…please come by and have a beer with me. I know it’s going to be hard practicing social distancing, but it’s an outdoor patio area…just bring hand sanitizer, I think we’ll be fine.
Some of you may not be aware…we were too young or not even born yet when this atrocity happened. If you want to know more, I recommend two more books for you.
• A Cambodian Odyssey – Movie: Survival in “the Killing Fields” by Haing Ngor (Oscar-winning performance)
• First They Killed My Father by Luong Ung (a national bestseller) – Movie: by Angelina Jolie
Note: her last name and mine are by coincidence. We are not related.
Free to watch on Netflix!
Peace!

Hi Team, “No Mama, No Papa”

I am excited that my book has made it to one of you all Christmas list. We now have 146 followers and over 200 books sold. Again, I can’t be more honored to hear you guys liking and sharing my life story. There was a lot of decision I had to make prior to publishing this book. One of them was adding a map and pictures, but it cost so much money I had to omit them. I tried to keep it as cheap as possible…maybe version two. If you have read my book, please share your thoughts.

I found this guy on Facebook who visited Cambodia and did an amazing video…one of my favorites. Below is the link. Watch it through his eyes…I cannot wait to go and show you through my eyes. I invite you to “Walk the Walk” with me.

The world where I was born…. KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA - Land of beautiful people, magnificent culture, incredible landscape, and spectacular ruins…with a splash of a dark history. The foods are amazing also.

Just take 5 minutes of your time…watch this video.
