Follow the white rabbit… again!
In January 1, 2007 in the wee hours of the morning as folks stood on Naima and Alixa’s roof declaring intentions for their year, I professed that 2007 for me, would be about “follow[ing] the white rabbit.” That year I had so many miracles and coincidences happen I thought that I really WAS Neo.

Oh, so I’m assuming you’ve read it?
We’ve been through so many cities and I haven’t had access to the internet often. So I’m recapping two weeks later. To catch you up… To complete our Detroit experience…

Her mother has the most inspiring revolutionary name I’ve ever heard [...]
Oh, The Pain!
Mama Lou loves corn. She likes popcorn, fritos, cornmeal, cornbread, bugles, corn on the cob… you name it. So when we left Cincinnati with bags of microwaveable popcorn it wasn’t a surprise. What was a surprise was when Mama Lou and Pippi tried to convince me that dried seaweed tastes like [...]

It’s all perfectly timed. And when/if there are any technical difficulties, it is extremely difficult to hold up [...]
A WOMAN COVERED IN GREASE - IT’S SO HOT!
We are on our way to Pittsburgh… no wait! We are swerving our way to Pittsburgh, and it is evident that unless we figure out Sugarcube’s problem, we’re going to kill ourselves and others on the highway. So we stop at Blue Mountain Travel Lodge - complete with a Roy Rodgers and an ice cream [...]
Lips chapped, mouth dry, and definitely not dressed for “world changing”
First and foremost, shouts out to those who have read my e-mail and/or blog and responded with a text, e-mail, or phone call.

FOLLOW THE YELLOW LIGHTS, AND VEER TO YOUR RIGHT!
For those of you who don’t know, I went to boarding school in … M-I-crooked letter crooked letter-I-crooked letter crooked letter-I-hump back hump back-I, back in 1993 when it was called Piney Woods Country Life School and had approximately 300 hormonal teenage boys and girls. To go back and forth for summers and winter [...]
