I Wasn't Always Black... There

Ours Is A Youth Culture, And Like A Golf Tournament, We Honor Only Low Scores.

Some Authority On Parenting Once Said, "hold Them Very Close And Then Let Them Go." This Is The Hardest Truth For A Father To Learn: That His Children Are Continuously Growing Up And Moving Away From Him (until, Of Course, They Move Back In).

I'm Not Going Out And Hitting A 95-mph Fastball Where I Can't See The Stitches. I'm Not On A Professional Football Team Looking To Tackle A Fullback Who Is Built Like Solid Wood. I'm A Thinking Person, And I've Been Blessed With The Ability To See Some Things And Talk About Them In A Way That Registers In A Humorous And Funny Way.

How Long Can You Tread Water?

I Wasn't Always Black... There Was This Freckle, And It Got Bigger And Bigger.
