164 years ago a little black kid was born in the nations capital
there was great debate about what to name him.
juan?
orel?
shaquille?
tony bennett was playing on the radio and the nurse said

initials impervious to childish chides.

for the last 28 years ive been in california
28 mostly awesome years.
im very lucky, mostly for knowing you.
