"Queenie"
The year was 1963. I spent 3 summers working for Daddy Fox in the gas station at the intersection of Highway 41 and 79 in Guthrie, Ky. The location was perfect as both highways moved a lot of traffic and there were plenty of cars and trucks that stopped just for gas. Guthrie was a small town and there was local trade; mostly farmers, town folks and workers from the Purina Pet Food plant. The intersection of both highways created a V-shaped lot that was huge and contained the gas station, a small house, and a modest motel toward the back end of the lot as it widened out.

Extra Cash, Extra Trouble
Darren sat at the small table in his kitchen staring at the paper take out bag from The Cork. He found it on his enclosed front porch, apparently stuffed through the package slot he had built himself when he first bought the small home on Oak St. He thought it odd since he hadn’t ordered food from the pub and he was sure they were closed on Sundays. He had brought it in and set it on the table while he fixed a cup of coffee. He popped an English muffin in the toaster oven and opened the bag, barely recognizing that it didn’t feel warm with food. His eyes never leaving the bag, he pulled out one of the wobbly chairs and sat down. It contained two straps of $100.00 bills. Someone had left $20,000.00 on his porch. It had to be a mistake. The toaster oven bell rang and startled Darren out of his hazed thoughts.

Enough is Enough Already; Can We Please Stop Celebrating Black History Month
(Previously published on Medium) So let me cut straight to the chase explaining why I just said what I said. The ultimate reason why I say “Hell to the no” in response to suggestions, insinuations, arguments, pleas, requests, and recommendations to cease celebrating Black History Month is simple. It winds down to one glaring reality:

“This is tens of thousands of dollars! At least 20. Probably more!” The man said without looking up from his magnifying lens. “You said you found this on the beach?”

What makes most Brazilians USA fanatics?
Brazilians are kind of crazy about the USA. It could have many reasons, but most of them see the neighboring country in a good way. Not every Brazilian, of course.

The Bed.
The Bed Have you ever really thought about your bed? No, really. It’s not surprising that we have all been spending a lot more time in our homes and thus, a lot more time in our beds. Well, maybe not a lot more time in our beds. I guess it depends on the person.

Model Thula victorious apologies for exploding in public
That’s a first we hear and see Thula victorious not even caring about lockdown rules and regulations but what’s even more disturbing was that she started making noise when fans wanted to take pictures of her and young children playing close to her.

The Sweet Indulgence That Is Human Contact
Was there a time before lockdown when you had to give up something that you really loved for an extended period of time? I’m sure we’ve all tried some sort of restriction at some point or another, whether that be restricting sugar for a diet, restricting sleep because you’re studying for a critical exam, refraining from alcohol for a week…

One Hell of a Dame
And there she was. Beautiful. Nineteen years old and had never left the country. Plans changed and she was alone. So when she received an invite to ride through Europe on the back of a bike, it was an opportunity she couldn’t resist. With a freshly broken heart and a ticket to England, she had no idea she was about to embark on the journey that would begin the rest of her life.

Dependence and Independence
I frequently find myself struggling between wanting my independence and wanting dependence, too. It is my belief that we need a healthy balance of both. I want someone I can depend on. Someone who has my back. Someone to share life with. I feel I am hard wired for that type of connection. On the other hand, I also want and need my independence. My alone time.

Why Is That a Thing?
OK. I get it. Sometimes its good to be different. Dare I say, its even "cool." And I put the quotation marks on cool because although I'm just a sneeze from 40, I still epitomize cool. I ooze it. I embrace it. Hell, I still have swagger, don't get it twisted. But this new cool... I just can't seem to wrap my head around it.
