Say It AIN'T So, Mike...
Gossips say Michael Jordan was outside The Kobe club in Miami waiting for his car when a kid walked up to him and gushed about what a great ball player Mike was and showed Mike that he was wearing Jordan sneakers and asked if he could take a picture of the b-ball legend. No such luck. They say Mike didn't even acknowledge the kid and got into his car without saying a word, leaving the kid, who was so mad he smashed his disposable camera on the ground, in tears.

THe lady that I names my first daughter after has gone on to glory...
Movie star and dancer, Cyd Charisse, passed away yesterday at the age of 86. Her publicist said she was admitted to Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles after she suffered an apparent heart attack.
She was born Tula Ellice Finklea on March 8, 1921. She starred in such films as "Ziegfeld Follies," "Singin' in the Rain," "The Band Wagon," "Brigadoon" and "Silk Stockings." Band Wagon was always one of my favorites. You should definitely NetFlix it if you haven't seen it.
She is survived by her husband of almost 60 years, Tony Martin, and her 2 children.
Rest in peace, Cyd.....

KUDOS TO MY SIBLINGS!
My older sister, who is an AVON guru and one of the few people that I know who have actually worked with AVON and stuck with it, went to a big AVON event on Sunday and was presented with the "SPIRIT OF AVON" award. Congratulations to her and to her assembled team members. They owe alot of their success to my sister; she is a mentor, cheerleader, friend, hard worker and good hearted and she deserves everything that she receives.
My younger sister is on a plane headed to Nicaragua on a peace mission with Witness For Peace. They will leave there and venture to Venezuela, Columbia and Mexico. They will then go to New York for the rest of the conference and then to DC to try and lobby Congress for additional aide to these areas. She also just closed on her first house on Tuesday and appears today in the newspaper for the hometown that we grew up in.
My younger brother and his wife just joined the Three Girl Club with the birth of their third daughter two weeks ago. My family went to see her and the rest of his family over the weekend and like her older sisters, she is gorgeous and just a sweetie pie. My brother is also in the middle of starting a magazine that will cover alot of what is going on in the area that we live in (Decatur/Lithonia/Stone Mountain). It will cover a variety of timely topics and I am looking forward to the first issue in August.
As I re-read this post, it makes me realize how much I love my sisters and brother and what they mean to me and my family. All three are such great people and I am glad and thankful that they are related to me. I love you guys.
Geeks...

A legend passes away..
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Bo Diddley, a founding father of rock ‘n’ roll whose distinctive “shave and a haircut, two bits” rhythm and innovative guitar effects inspired legions of other musicians, died Monday after months of ill health. He was 79.
Diddley died of heart failure at his home in Archer, Fla., spokeswoman Susan Clary said. He had suffered a heart attack in August, three months after suffering a stroke while touring in Iowa. Doctors said the stroke affected his ability to speak, and he had returned to Florida to continue rehabilitation.
The legendary singer and performer, known for his homemade square guitar, dark glasses and black hat, was an inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, had a star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, and received a lifetime achievement award in 1999 at the Grammy Awards. In recent years he also played for the elder President Bush and President Clinton.
Diddley appreciated the honors he received, “but it didn’t put no figures in my checkbook.”
“If you ain’t got no money, ain’t nobody calls you honey,” he quipped.
The name Bo Diddley came from other youngsters when he was growing up in Chicago, he said in a 1999 interview. “I don’t know where the kids got it, but the kids in grammar school gave me that name,” he said, adding that he liked it so it became his stage name. Other times, he gave somewhat differing stories on where he got the name. Some experts believe a possible source for the name is a one-string instrument used in traditional blues music called a diddley bow.
