15.07.2025 11:03 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My wife and I saw GYPSY on Broadway starring @audramcdonald. It is EVERYTHING we have heard and beyond. Ms. McDonald had us all in tears, deep in our feelings, at one point. I have seen much theater in my life, but this was a singular experience I cannot even fully explain. She is the GOAT. Period.
13.07.2025 15:25 — 👍 7 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 2With my mother today, helping her shred papers, organize, prepare things she wants to give away, and dealing with dust that has piled up. She still proudly says “I’m independent” but everyone needs help now and again. Like many, my mother saves everything, good grief. :)
09.07.2025 19:35 — 👍 5 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0My mother told me many stories of her life in segregated America. The racism/sexism/classism and break in her education. Here we are again in America, hurting people badly. But people like my mom fought; so must we, for today, for future generations. She never gave up. Neither will I.

I was interviewed for Antoine Medley’s great podcast show called “the forced pivot.” Spoke much about mental health, why more people, including more males, need to be honest about our challenges, and get help in different forms.
