It’s one more day until I retire from Newsday after 32 years. They gave me a wonderful send off this afternoon. It’s been 42 years in journalism overall. Now I’ll be a different kind of laborer in the vineyard!

I have loved Roberta Flack for as long as I can remember. An educator, a towering artist, a proud black woman. She was the music of my youth and pointed the way to a spiritual maturity.
