As I mentioned in an earlier post, my dad’s oldest sister passed away recently. Today was the funeral. I do not go to funerals. That is a conversation in and of itself, so I will not get into for now. However, I decided to go to this one, my first in years, to support my [...]

In a world of Facebook, you can learn about a plethora of things instantly. Nevertheless, some things do not seem to be appropriate status posts. I never wanted to learn about the death of my Aunt in such a way, but that is how I did learn about it. Her grandkids had posted something about [...]

I had not been to any festivals downtown Detroit at all this year. I wanted to go, but I just never got around to making any of them. I did not want to miss the Detroit Jazz Fest, though, especially since Branford Marsalis was going to be there. I try to catch him whenever he [...]

Bowling is not something that I do often, nor is it something at which I perform well. When I was a kid, I had my own ball and shoes and everything. I was still never good at it, though. Nevertheless, I like to bowl from time to time.

…That is probably my favorite Anita Baker song. I did not expect her to sing it, but a girl can hope. I went to see Anita Baker live for the first time today, and it will probably be my last time. I am not the biggest fan of Anita Baker. I like most of her [...]

I spend a good amount of time with my nephews on many Sundays. Today was no different. We usually sit and play games, eat, joke, etc. However, in between games, I got a little restless and decided that my youngest nephew and I should draw fourth of July fireworks pictures to celebrate the holiday.

While I sit and try to figure out where all the years went, life continues to move forward. The latest confirmation that I am getting older occurred today. While I am not that keen on getting old, I have to say that I am glad to see this moment, and I am very proud.

I previously mentioned that my niece is graduating from high school this year. With the coming of the end of the school year, there are a host of ceremonies and banquets that students like my niece get to attend in honor of their achievements. In the past week and a half, my niece has attended [...]

Until today, I had never seen one of Tyler Perry‘s plays on DVD or in a theater. I have seen all of the movies, and I even own a copy of the Diary of a Mad Black Woman movie. I did not plan on seeing the play today, but here is how I happened to [...]

Wow! Today, I got my second opportunity to drive since I obtained my license. This time, I was driving with my sisters. My sister from Ohio was in town, and she wanted to get a game for my niece. Today was my niece’s birthday, so we were meeting at my parents to celebrate. My sister [...]

My brother called me today, asking if I wanted a television. He was in the process of moving and had some things to get rid of, I guess. I would not even have a television if it were not for my brother and sister-in-law. I am not much of a television watcher at all, but [...]

My eldest nephew turned fifteen today. Wow! Where did the time go. As if that is not enough, my eldest niece is turning eighteen this year, graduating from high school, and going to college in the fall, quite likely to my alma mater. You know that you are getting old when children that you saw [...]

I do not know why I though that things would change now that I have a license. Yes, I do. I figured that people would be more comfortable letting me drive after I got a license, but that has not really been the case. That coupled with the fact that my family is going through [...]

…but God forbid that man have to do without biscuits! I am not much of a bread eater. Do not even come near me with a piece of regular sliced loaf bread because I will not be eating it. Regardless of it being wheat, white, pumpernickel, sourdough…it does not matter. There is something about that [...]
