As someone whose innate filter doesn8217t always work, Pauley says it exactly as he sees it Written in his uniquely humorous, poignant, sarcastic, selfdeprecating, honest, and mildly outrageous style, he recounts stories of growing up different, while learning important lessons from even the most unlikely of sources: a chili dog, a nasty queen, a cursing coworker, a PortaPotty, a stranger8217s judgment, a sore butt, a new piano, a tiny scar, a grieving widow, and a hateful bully With the millions of miles he8217s logged in over the years, along with the thousands of diverse and colorful characters he8217s met and observed along the way, he knows one thing for certain: On this journey called Life, with no GPS or autopilot to help us navigate, no one truly knows what their final destination will be And, because the ride will undoubtedly be turbulent at times, it8217s best to just fasten your seat belts, learn from the experience, and always hope for a soft landing
