So, everything went well with CK’s little procedure. He had been throwing up and was backed up, turned out to be a big time episode of constipation, but at his age (almost 10) he had to go through anesthesia to have it taken care of. Plus I am a big baby when it comes to [...]

CK, the weiner dog of infinite justice, is not feeling well and has an emergency medical procedure scheduled in the next couple hours. It isn’t anything life threatening but I’m of course not in a good state of mind on it, he’s never been really ill in any way before. Anyways, good puppy thoughts or [...]

Congrats to my best friend Mark and his wife Vivien who became a mommy again yesterday with the birth of baby Luca.

The year is 1981. I went to a foreign country for the first time, a little place called England you may have heard of. My grandmother on my father’s side lived there, and my mom and I went for a little visit. Flash forward to today and my uncle just happened to have a few [...]

My mom’s blog is now up and running. Go check it out. She’s mostly writing about Jamaican politics right now (you’ll see where I get my passion from) but add her to your feeds and whatnot.

Thought I might move things around a bit here, so here we are. I’m sure there are a few fixes to be made long term, but everything should be working in general.
No TARP funds were used in this redesign.
My Mom On The Obama Inauguration

As I noted on Twitter, the whole AT&T cell network on the Capitol lawn bit the big one during the Inauguration, and my mom was trying to call me to share the moment. But she did leave a voicemail from Jamaica. I know I’m prejudiced – it’s my mom, after all – but the emotion [...]
Area Codes Don’t Matter

My friend, who is in the Navy and currently on base in Illinois, has a Florida-based area code at 954. Yet, he’s lived for the last couple years in Nebraska, Milwaukee and the caribbean.
The days when you could see a 954 number and think “Oh, Florida” is OVER. Welcome to the future.

Phase 1: Now You’re Playing With Power
In 1986 I had just moved back to America after living for 2 years in Jamaica. It was my first time stateside after my parents had broken up, and as it has been for most of the rest of my life – just my mom and I. I had [...]

Oh look at that, I’m having a birthday again. 31 years ago today the skies opened up, a celestial choir sang, and Lloyd Oliver Willis Jr. began the slow battle for control of Earth-1.
Of course, the one who endured the actual pain of that day and decided she would never do it again (because of [...]

My dog C.K. brings the awesome, a week in advance of him turning 9 years old. He has a Batman tag because I moved since he had the Superman one and I haven’t been able to find a pet store that still has the Superman ones in stock.
Also, Fall is the time of year that [...]

Oliver Clark questions McCain
There are not a lot of guys in America named Oliver. There are even less black guys in America named Oliver.
So when one makes the news, I have to give him props.
I tried to get in touch via Facebook with Oliver Clark, the man who McCain said probably didn’t know what Fannie [...]
