Journal of a Lifetime

Reflections of EL: In Search of EL Picture An excerpt from:​
​Chapter 25 - The Subway Ride -Lust


...As we were walking towards 46th Street, I could see that the Globe Theater was playing the sex-comedy Cry Uncle. I asked Regan if she was game to see this movie about a detective who gets into all kinds of trouble. She gave her silly chuckling laugh and said “Why not?” We entered and found seats about in the middle of the auditorium. The movie was already in progress but that did not seem to matter. No, this was not one of those jerk-off theaters but we still got looks from some guys because the subject matter of the movie drew a mostly male crowd. We sat quietly, laughed at times and basically enjoyed this movie and the just as graphic second feature that played with it for the next hour and a half.
 
As we left the theater, we both knew that Mr. Polite would make certain that she got home okay. But this mister had his mind in the gutter and I next asked Regan if she was interested in seeing my apartment. She acted shocked that I had one. When we broke up, I was still living with my parents. I felt that she must have heard that I had my own place through her sister and Aaron but who knows. I told her that a lot of things had changed and she agreed. We walked over to the “C” local on 50th Street and took it up to 125th Street.


I’d grown pretty proud of my little apartment on 129th Street. Regan and I spoke for a while in the living room and she marveled at the paint choices and mirrored panels I had put up. Of course, when we were tired, the natural place to move to was in the bedroom. It was pretty obvious that regardless of all of our small talk, sparring and trying to make a good impression with each other, never completing the act was interfering with our conversations.
 
Regan borrowed a pair of my pajamas and we laid down for the night...

Author L. A. Green At the Morris Park Library

Writing a Factual and Entertaining
​Family History
Narrator: Lloyd A. Green
Date: Saturday, April 1, 2017, 2:00 pm
Program Location: Morris Park Branch Library
Picture Click for a copy Every generation has a tale to tell but even true stories change with time. Documenting those precious details is one way to pull together family history but why shouldn’t that special narrative be really memorable?
 
During the session, the author will first discuss how to effectively build a factual family history. Afterwards, techniques on how to combine the history with an entertaining story, in order to draw the interest of family members and many others, will be discussed. The review will cover the interviewing process, document searches and storyline evolution that can produce a personal and entertaining family history narrative.
 
Lloyd A. Green, published author, will utilize his book, The Green Legacy, as an example for the session. The book is not only an
exploration into the writer's family history; it’s also an exciting paranormal mystery. Morris Park Branch Library

Congrats To Valerie

Another Successful Book Presentation PictureBeaucoup congratulations to Valerie Augustin-Partin, author of "Mom Me: E-Mail 2 Heaven." She has held another successful presentation at the Morris Park Branch Library, which took place on Saturday, 1/21/17.

Moving on after the lost of a relative who has passed away from diabetes and/or cancer will always be a heavy and scary topic of discussion. Under Valerie's organized and empathetic direction, audience members freely and comfortably shared experiences about their loved ones. True healing takes time but sessions like these, because of Valerie's wealth of knowledge, are a gentle assist. Many stayed pass the scheduled end-time, wanting to hear more. Congrats, again.
