Entry for February 29, 2008

Wow!!  What a week this has been for LLFMF and me.  I spoke about LL at the South Orange Public Library last Thursday.  As I talked about how Dad would hug us at any time, two men in the front seats began to cry.  After my talk, they came up and told me that that is what they were missing from their own father.  Physical affection was missing for them in their childhoods.  The same happened at my talk at the Weston Union Club in Harlem yesterday.  It is clear that people are in pain now in their adult lives and have not figured out how to heal this wond of growing up. A young lady invited my to present LL to her students at New York University Harlem.  She said that many of her charges know LL and have read if and loved it.  I am looking forward to that date.  Two men from my HueMan Book Club came to hear me and also the nephew of Marcia Jane.   He runs Gallery M in Harlem, is a KU graduate and more.  The world needs to know of Guys like these three.


Alissa and I sail on the Queen Mary 11 on March 20Th.  Now, that is going to be fun.  We are thinking of taking CJ but that is not settled quite as yet.
