Since my last column, I have been stuck in geek-mode. I have been binge watching some of my favorites – Firefly, Stargate Atlantis, and Serenity (the end film to the Firefly series), but I wanted to share with you one of my most passionate hobbies – painting miniatures.
With Memorial Day having recently passed, and the 4th of July quickly approaching, it is a time I look forward to each year. Things slow down substantially, both at work and in most other areas as well. The month of May is by far the busiest time of year for me. With all the school banquets, ceremonies and senior shoots, I look forward to June for a bit of relief (not that I don’t enjoy all the business that comes with May). I enjoy seeing all the hard work that gets put in all year by students and seeing it culumate into many celebrations and graduation.
Goodbyes are never easy, and being the sentimental guy that I am, I try to avoid them as much as possible.
There’s a book by Elmer Kelton titled “The Time It Never Rained.” As I was thinking about the current situation in which we are living, this book came to mind. In this book, a desperate farmer tries to hold on to his independence and the principles he values.
I LOVE hair—I always have, and I always will. Hair is an integral part of the African-American culture. In Africa, your hairstyle reflects your tribe. In other words, people could look at your hair and determine the tribe from which you belong. I suppose it would not be unreasonable to say that hair is similar to one’s unique fingerprint.
