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

In Feb., I shared the 1st part of a multi-series project with my friend Tracie, "Threshold of Fear." She overcame her fear threshold & wanted to help others. Here's part 2, titled Catalyst. Tracie wrote & narrated this video, which I created using various AI tools.

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
