#where i reside
This made me think of today at work. Today at work we watched Anna Deveare Smith’s brilliant “Twilight Los Angeles 1992”, in anticipation of an event to recognize the 20th anniversary of the “civil unrest” following the Rodney King verdict. At the closing, Twilight Bey says: “So to me, it’s like I’m stuck in limbo,...

Um. While I agree with the gist of your story…Chink in his armor? REALLY? Please try to stay up on current events.

Nothing beautiful can last forever. It’s why James Dean and Marilyn Monroe are still so popular—their looks will never see the damage of time and being out in the sun without sunscreen. For a while, Ichiro Suzuki seemed to be the one person immune to...
