I just realized a few minutes ago that someone might read this and think it's racist -- you know, "Mom needs a hairct, not a weave" and all, LOL. (For the record, the subtitle of the Canarsie Courier these days reads, "A Caribbean Community." At least that's what Mom told me last year; I haven't read the rag in a decade and a half.) I'm sure you can appreciate that it's genuinely true, though: you can't find a salon there that doesn't say, right on the sign above its door, "We specialize in weaves."
Can you picture my Mom with a weave?! LOL....!!!
One final note: on Tuesday morning, when I was folding up the sofabed, Dad came out of their little office room beaming, a Steeplechase-style smile from ear to ear. "Read this," he said, sitting me in front of his computer and showing me an AOL News Sports article. Willie Randolph had been fired the previous night, after the game vs. the Angels.
I do believe that was the cherry on the icing on the cake that was Dad's weekend!! ;)
Ooh, cool; keep me posted on the dates!! (Now you know, btw, why meeting up in DC last week was a no-go; this trip was totally for the 'rents. There's always a next time, though!) :)
