It was my intention to post lots of retrospective pics of my past in the month of February but Work has been excessively needy and I’ve had to give her all of my attention. Better late than next month. Enjoy the smile.

flashback 1998 – a Black History moment
I came across this old ad with Spencer and I for the obstetrician who supervised the birth of both of he and his brother. Funny and such a lifetime ago.
what the Stimulus Bill has for everyday Americans
If you’re like most Americans (and Congress), you haven’t read the 1071 page Stimulus Bill that President Obama is likely to sign early this week. This will impact our future for the next three or more generations, people! Insomnia forced me to read through a good bit myself but here is a quick look for those who don’t want to have to filter through all of the stuff that has nothing to do with “change you can believe in.” Read What The Stimulus Bill Has For Everyday Americans and tell me what you think.
stealing the Steelers
This warehouse is down the street from me and I never noticed the “familiarity” of the logo until today. So my sons, their friend, and I couldn’t resist making it a Nikon moment. GO STEELERS!!
yes we kenn
Now 15 years old is the one who bears my full name.
Hard to believe that this little dude is not a little dude anymore
And though his hair adds an extra two inches to his vertical claim,
He will most likely and quite soon exceed his dad’s 6’1″ frame.
I love you and am so proud of you, Kenn 2.0.
switch
There is a switch in power of historical proportions before us with the Barack Obama administration. They are younger, more diverse, more tech savvy, and geographically distinct from those they replace.
Check out this interactive profile of the new players in Washington. Educate yo’self.
happy MLK day
May you all continue to agitate and effect change by moving beyond just dreaming.
i’m through with white girls
A provocative statement that borders on racist? Yes. A catalyst for an honest discussions on interracial dating? Yes. A quirky, funny, hidden gem of a movie that instantly became one of my faves. Absolutely!
I’m Through with White Girls (The Inevitable Undoing of Jay Brooks) is an independent, high-quality, low-budget film about a black, “underacchieving” nerd who decides that in order to have better success at dating, he will stop white dating girls, whom he tends toward for reasons that I will not spoil here. He ends up falling for a “Half-rican Canadian” who is just as unusual as he and soon realizes that his failures at dating have more to do with him than with the women he chooses. The sequence that chronicles his online dating encounters are worth the price of admission alone.
I’m not a movie reviewer but I really loved this movie so I had to tell you about it. Go rent or buy the DVD (yes, it’s worth buying) and let me know what you think.
