The Bulls won their 6 titles because they had Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen & a 4-spot who was considered top 5 in the game at that time. First Horace Grant; then Dennis Rodman. But in 1997 it took a [...]

Jump into the joy. Cozy up the comfort residing in anticipation. But when the world isn’t moving fast enough… Well, the [...]

Sometimes you wake up to a beautiful moment. Sometimes you find yourself in a place and a devil of a time. The objective doesn’t change: get from the beginning to the end of the day and be a better person when you finish it than when you started it. Though I’m still not sure what [...]

I wrote a post yesterday I felt compelled to write. And I confess that I was nervous about the reception. But, once again, y’all overwhelmed me. Thank y’all for the affection and support.

I can tell my patience is wearing thin regarding my epic wait for the edits to my Book of Blues. The good news is that I talked to my cousin. I talked to him in that Facebook chat-sort-of-way. I don’t blame him. 70-hour work weeks in the blizzardom of Minneapolis has to hurt regardless of [...]

Much like New Yorkers, Those from The Region flock as fast as they can down to the shady palm trees of Florida. Especially the Gulf side. We in The Region call them snow birds. At the time of this posting, there will be five days til I get on a plane that is, hopefully, headed [...]
