MLK Parade in Plano


To help celebrate the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr., we joined the Democratic Party’s group with our own pair of PT Cruisers! Thanks to Deloris LaJoy, I had the opportunity to ride in style and visit with the throngs of supporters who lined Plano’s Avenue K in remembrance of the sacrifices Doctor King made for all Americans who want to live in harmony.

We topped off the parade with a presentation from the Mayor of Plano, and then went to raise voter awareness with a Voter Registration drive that lasted throughout the day. All in all, it felt good to connect with friends from all walks of life, and to ensure that people remembered the rights that all people of color have won in America!

Time With The Kids


What could possibly be more important than spending time with our children. As the Primary season grinds on, the time I get to spend with all four of my children is ever more precious. With Patrick in college, Anthony at high school, and Ed & Winter in elementary, every moment with them truly counts.

To say Christmas has been the calm before the storm is only slightly right; Christmas has seen its own share of parties and festivals for my family. It’s really been kind of the mini-storm before the Big Storm in February.

Winter and I took a moment here to go over one of the family picture albums and remember how she got to be such a precocious nine years old, then it’s off to bed for her!
