Name one thing not many people know about you.

I was a Telex Operator at the Reader’s Digest Advertising offices in Manhattan during the mid-1980s.  At the time Ms. Wallace was still living though she stayed in the Pleasantville, NY location. It was a wonderful place to work. For my fellow Baby Boomers you know what a Telex Machine was. As for you young folks ~~ Google it!! LOL!!

If a distant uncle dies and you were always his favorite and leaves you $50,000 (any currency) in his will, what would you do?

Pay off as many bills as possible and take a vacation somewhere in the Caribbean with my brother Stephen.

Where do you hide junk when people come over?

I don’t get many visitors but when I do they all stay downstairs in the Living Room which is much neater than my bedroom as you can see!! LOL!!  🙂   😀

Complete this sentence:  I want to learn more about …

Photography and learn to speak better Spanish.

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? 

Grateful that I got to say Farewell to my co-worker from the Cameroon who went on Maternity Leave. Her baby girl Destiny is due at the end of this month. We have become very close over the last few months as she has no family in America. All her relatives are either in the Cameroon or France. Her Mom will be arriving soon.

I was never able to have children and this young woman is like my daughter. Her baby girl Destiny will be my granddaughter of sorts.  I’m grateful and thankful for her.  A connection to the Motherland. Africa. I’m Thankful to and for many of my African co-workers as I’ve learned so much about the continent of our ancestors over the last eight years.  One day I will make my pilgrimage to the soil from whence my fore-bearers sprang.
