Thank you Henry Louis Aaron
Hank Aaron made me a better human being. Watching him go through his home run chase in 1973, and having the excitement of witnessing history soon after, are one of the best parts of my life. Then there are the other parts, the haters. When Mr. Aaron shared his mail with the world, it was as chilling as the penmanship.
Fashion at the Inauguration

Don’t Tell the Ending
I’d let you stay at my place if I don’t have to be there with you.
When I’m into another person, I get the feeling of wow! But I get that same feeling with a doobie and a Hendrix album.
When I hang out, it’s mainly with the people in my head. They have wonderful stories to tell. Curious little tales with twist endings. Never see it coming. Perhaps you’d like to hear one.
Come in.
Don’t mind the people there, don’t stare, bring refreshments.
A story is about to being.
Quiet!
Phone off.
Don’t tell your friends the ending.
Don’t Bother
I went the extra mile, no reason except curiosity. If you’re thinking of doing the same don’t bother; it ain’t worth it.
To help others, I made this sign and placed it where anyone about to travel the mile could see it.
WELCOME TO THE EXTRA MILE
Home to no restaurants, no gas stations, no stores, schools, or hospitals. No traffic lights, theaters, and not a living soul. It’s like an unfurnished apartment in the middle of nowhere. The souvenir shop is a bit pricy.
At the end of the mile, I placed another sign:
Drive carefully.
Enjoy your stay.
