Review:...

I will not be doing the workshops until I can retrieve my intellectual property. Looks like I have to sue the woman for ownership of the website I paid her to create.

It took her over a year & she still hasn’t made all the corrections. She is incommunicado but I believe the courts can find her. At least I hope so.

Anyway, I’m working on Book 3 & hope to get much of it written in 2024.

Peace & comfort to all. Let’s hope this is a better year than last year.

New Orleans was so much cooler, safer, friendlier then when I lived there, it actually made me cry. Blacks are finally treated equally in many ways. We got hugs from complete strangers. They have a new park named after Louie Armstrong. They have a new streetcar line ...

Responding to Ross Gay’s “Some Thoughts on Mercy” from Oct. ’23 The Sun (magazine)

Ross Gay’s essay reminded me of a moment I witnessed on a New Orleans bus in the 1980s. A Black boy and a white boy were sitting together, talking and laughing. By their speech, you couldn’t tell which one was white and which was Black. Suddenly an old white man stood up and yelled at the white kid to “Stop acting like a [N-word]!” Being from Upstate New York, I was in shock. I was used to a more subtle form of racism.

In my small town there were few Black families. Once, my sister’s boyfrien...
