Picture this, President Barack Obama and Vice President General Colin Powell. SHHHHHH! Don't say anything. Just take in those words and see it in your mind.. January 2009, Inauguration Day. Now, the General has the much sought after military background and foreign government experience. The President brings a collaborative style of leadership that works with rather than run rough shod. It would be a much safer America with a combination of Obama/Powell than McCain/Anyone. If you've noticed, Gen. Powell has been noticeably quiet regarding an endorsement for either candidate, but has stated his pride in Senator Obama's effort; much more than he's done for Senator McCain . Harlem Week (Month) is upon us! The Grant's Tomb Kick-Off Sunday, was so great! Val and I made friends everywhere we went in the park. Plan to meet some of the folk at Jazzmobile tomorrow night. Yes, we are taking advantage of all of the FREE concerts and more reasonably priced activities, during this time of staycationing and trying to hold on to a dollar and make it SSTTTRRREEETTTCCCCHHHHH. We stopped in The National Black Theatre on Sunday to bid Dr. Barbara Ann Teer a peaceful journey. She was breathtakingly beautiful and the Spirit of the Ancestors were unmistakeably present. I could not believe how touched I was to my very core. The drummers made me move in ways I hadn't danced since Mrs. Gary's African Dance classes that I took in the 70's. I had no control over these movements as they came from a place deep within that connected those drumbeats to my very own heartbeat. It will be unforgettable. It was a privilege and honor to be able to connect at that place, in that time, in saying, "See you later," to Dr. Teer.
Well, it has been one month and two days of the daily workout. I missed three days due to the heatwave. After going out the first day of it and thinking "This is not such a good idea", I decided to do something else instead of the track. And, the two days it was like a monsoon, I couldn't get out there, was a break in the routine. I am down a size and very pleased about that. I am looking forward to seeing what I can comfortably live with as a daily routine to continue exercising daily when my vacation ends. My pressure is great without any artificial prescription medication and I feel fabulous. What's going on with you? So what are you thoughts, comments or ideas? Write on, but as for me, I'm out...
