    Sorry kids, I just can't get this song out of my head today. Hehe

    "Chocolate City" Uh, what's happening CC?
    They still call it the White House
    But that's a temporary condition, too.
    Can you dig it, CC?

    To each his reach
    And if I don't cop, it ain't mine to have
    But I'll be reachin' for ya
    'Cause I love ya, CC.
    Right on.

    There's a lot of chocolate cities, around
    We've got Newark, we've got Gary
    Somebody told me we got L.A.
    And we're working on Atlanta
    But you're the capital, CC............

    Thank you, 2/3, for your support.

    I may grudgingly allow Lazarus a few drops for you.

    Hey Sylvia...how're you today? (taking a cue from the beer summit ... I'm not going to focus on the past but on the future)

    focusing on the future is the way forward.

    I must say that the thought of a concept something like Post Traumatic Slavery Disorder being formulated by the legal system would be a mitigating and healing move imo.

    I'm good, thank you.

    Post Traumatic Slavery Disorder being formulated by the legal system would be a mitigating and healing move imo.

    It would, indeed.

    Even if it accomplishes nothing more than validating our pain.

    QuietlyLeaving, you are a treasure.

    I see Vick's interview with James Brown to be aired on 60 Minutes, Sunday, August 16, 2009.

    I also see that the Philadelphia Eagles will be welcoming him aboard.

    This is the last day of my vacation; I had a sobering time; found out some stuff about some distant cousins that was heartwarming.

    It's good to be back.
