I'm impressed! Spider-Man managed to lift me over his shoulder. A friend mentioned she saw his legs buckle. This was risky. I doubt he has insurance in that line of work. While my wife took several photos, I kept praying, "Lord, don't let him drop me." A brotha was ready to tuck and roll.

I have my family with me at the Chautauqua Institution. My heart was so full when Jaz saw the brochure and said, "That's Daddy!" #blacksky #poetry #wroting #chautauqua

Jade Rose was excited for her school's Letter People Parade. Initially eager to be letter S, she got shy seeing the crowd of parents waiting. Like her mom, she doesn't love the spotlight, but she pushed through and completed the parade successfully! #blacksky

An 80-degree day. Perfect for ice cream. Jaz & Jade Rose picked out their favorite treats, enjoyed their swirls on the porch swing, then we headed to the nearby playground for an afternoon of laughter and adventure.

This past weekend, my best friend of 24 years did The Thing. And she said, "Yes!" I'm honored they asked me to be a part of that moment. Congratulations to Derrick and Carmen! #marriageproposal #love
