Let’s Get It!
Did you catch that Gator game?
Damn…
I did.
It was magnificient.
National Muthafuckin Champions in football AND basketball round this bitch.
Gainesville breeds winners.
Tomorrow Ruby and I head out to Houston, both of us seeing it for the first time. We’ve mapped out a plan of action and we hope that at least one option works. Thank God for my friend who wouldn’t let me go through this alone. She’ll fly out once I’m settled.
We’re sitting here on the eve of my departure and Ruby and I have already shared a bottle of wine. Donald is in my ear saying, “You ain’t loose, nigga, You ain’t loose.”
They are both so crazy. I’m thankful to have friends like them in my life. At first I was apprehensive about their age difference and places in life, I can see how they balance each other, each inspiring other to want more and strive for more. I think they’ll be alright if they both keep moving forward. If one slows down, then the other will either conform or break away.
I spoke to my sons tonight. My Boo Boo was telling me that he didn’t eat any dinner because his Daddy didn’t make sandwhiches for him.
“What did your daddy make for dinner?”
“Real food.”
“And why didn’t you eat it?”
“Because I wanted sandwhiches and he wouldn’t give them to me. He…He… He only took us to Burger King ONE TIME, Mama. One, time. He never take us to McDonald’s. Just one time, Mama.”
“Well baby, you know how your Daddy goes and cooks food for you every night? That’s a GOOd thing baby. That’s good eating. All that other stuff is a treat. Once in a while. Every so often, baby.”
“Well he don’t take us there.”
“Well maybe if you start eating what he makes for you then he will reward your OBEDIENCE by taking you to get a treat.”
“I’m obedient all day, at home.”
“Okay I want you to be obedient at school too, ok?”
“Ok, Mama.”
“Do You want to talk to my Daddy?”
“Um,,,Naw.,, Just tell him that I said Have a good night,”
“I told him Mama.”
“Good. I love you baby.”
“I love you too Mama.”
“I’ll talk to you tomorrow.”
“Goodnight Mama.”
