The final chapter of our adventure has Paul on a road trip to Yosemite - sharing a tale about his first trip California - and how it was almost derailed by a stomach bug and the realization that everyone he knew was eventually going to die.

Disneyland (and Death)

Paul Shirley traveled the world chasing a basketball career that landed him on 17 different teams. He played in Spain, Greece, Russia, and the NBA.  But Paul isn't just a basketball player; he's also a kid, from a small town in Kansas, who's searching for love just like all the rest of us. In Stories I Tell On Dates, Paul shares the stories he tells his dates: about being vulnerable at middle school dances, being embarrassed in  Sex Ed class, being mocked by national media, and about having his heart (and spleen) broken.
