December 29, 2017 I was walking up the street in what looked like our old neighborhood in Monrovia, California with a woman who looked Asian or South American. She had light brown skin, almond-shaped eyes, and straight black hair. She walked beside me quietly, hands clasped behind her back, rather pensively.

Basketball and Pancakes
Hey Y’all, We lost Charlie Murphy today. Leukemia. He left a legacy of unfettered humor, candid acting, and brilliant insight into real shit. His greatest gifts are the phrase “habitual line-stepper” and one of the best Prince stories on the planet. Rest In Power Charlie. But it is interesting that Prince transitioned on April 21, 2016,Continue reading “Basketball and Pancakes”
