Are we there yet?

11:06PM - Long time coming...
It's been a hot moth since I've written anything. I read my last entry before I decided to write. I have a lot to catch up on. Anyway, I got back from Denver safe and sound. The wedding was beautiful. I really enjoyed being a groomsmen in my cousin's wedding. I enjoyed hanging with him for the week as well. Gerald is good people and he picked a good wife too. Jeri fits right in with us. Rickey did too a few years ago, and both weddings were beautiful. Matter of fact I was a groomsmen in Rickey's wedding. Matter of fact I caught the garder belt in at that wedding too. That brings my total to three. Does that mean something? I hope not. The kid is so focused on work right now. School is right around the corner and graduation will be here even sooner. Anyway, like I said the trip was cool. I got a speeding ticket for doing 81 in a 60 somewhere in Lousiana. That was on the way back, I did most of the driving going up though. My Uncle Sidney did most of the driving going back though. I got lost once in Oklahoma, and he got lost once in Dallas. By the way, big up to Dallas. I am really feeling your city. The trip really brought the family together. My mom, as quiet and humble as she is almost got into a fight in a Waffle House in Denton Texas. I'm like wow. Mom can really get bout' it. But I had to mellow her out cause I'm pretty sure we were the only black people in a 3-5 mile radius. LOL! Oh, but like I was saying about Gerald, we really bonded. When I was a young child he and I were close but it's different now with him being an adult and me coming into my own. I really look up to him. He's a thinker. And he is a bigger neat freak than me. Whoa. I really appreciate him taking us around Denver, and whoever reads this if you get into downtown Denver look for a Mexican joint called Benny's. That is the best Mexican place in the midwest. Oh, and the Carribean Bakery on Colfax, stop there too. Gerald's new wife Jer's family are cool too. Her father is really down to earth. He smiles a lot and is very sincere. Some people you just catch a vibe for. His son Joel is and his other daughter is cool. Oh, by the way, the final score was 22-17. I lost. It's a game me and the unmarried adult cousins play. The enitre week of a wedding plus the day of and the day after you have to keep count of how many times you hear "So I take it you are getting married next." But the reason why you want to win this game because history has shown that the runner up is always the next to get married. And guess who came in second? Your's trully. (sigh) I guess it doesn't help I caught my third garder either. Dang, I keep forgetting about all of that other stuff. The reception was too nice. Real classy. And as much money was speant (like 10 grand on the reception alone) you knew it was black folks were in the building when the enitre place got up to do the Electric Slide. I guess with black folks you are not really married until you do the electric slide at your reception. LOL! And then I got the chance to ride in both limos. The second was a strecth Excursion. It was so comfortable. And I did raid the min bar, especially when I found out it was already paid for. Naw, my cousin told me it was cool. When I get married I will have to have about 3 of those. One for myself and my bride, one for the wedding party, and one for the family. And let me get off of this me getting married scenario. It's all about work and business right now. No distractions. Just focus. Like a Jedi in trainning. (Use the force...LOL!) Well, I sent out postcards to a lot of my people back home. I wanted to send one to you know who, but my pride wouldn't let me do it. Sad, but true. The rest of the week was good to. I was running cats at La Familia Communtiy Center. They are not ready for the Florida kid. A couple of Denver Nuggets and college kids were in there, but some of these guys aren't on my level. I thought I would be nervous. But againist pro competion and current D-1 players I stepped all the way up effortlessly. My game has been on for a minute. Working with these kids I shoot every day and do some workouts so I guess it's like sharpening an old knife. Anyway, the rest of the week was good. I won about 30 bucks playing black jack at the casino in the mountains. My God the Rocky Mountains are so beautiful and all those rivers. I want to go white water rafting so bad now. I am going back. Hope to take a young lady with me. I did so much on this trip. Juneteenth was off the chain too. Nice to see "US" together and not tripping. But in the middle of a celebration of black history why did I see some real live pimps? Do they ever take a break? I guess not. Well, it's late. Anything I want to catch up will get written tomorrow. Get at the kid...Naw, get the new King. Holla.

(Before I go...)Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for a safe voyage and safe return from Colorado. My journey across your green earth was an absolute humbling experience. And before I lay my head down, I pray that you bless Jeri and Gerald who lost each other and found each other again. Keep them healthy, happy, and safe. In Jesus name we pray...Amen.
