I really don't know what to make of this summer it has been really strange. I really need to take the next couple of weeks and get-a-way from Mad-Town; perhaps I will go visit with family although most of my nephews, nieces,great nieces and nephews have returned either back to college or school. It would be nice to visit with my sister's and their families even with the kids away at school, we have all had a rough summer after that Burr Oak situation. Many friends have called to console me during these rough and uncertain times in fact it is like those family members buried or were buried at Burr Oak have died all over again.
My buddy Jeffrey has really proven to be a good friend he has been with me every step of the way even making the trips to Chicago with me to on the family burial plots and grave sites. he even has a family member or two in that cemetery. he's a strong brotha and a good friend.
Kewon is excited about returning back to work, it is hard to imagine this is his second year teaching, he seems to like his career very much. he invited me to join him in Atlanta for the Labor Day Weekend... Good Luck! No I will not be tagging behind his young arse I have excepted the fact that I need to catch up with my own crowd (older clique).
It is truly hectic here in Mad-Town the students are moving out and new ones moving in, yes this year I hope to see plenty men of color on campus especially since I will not only be working on campus, but also attending classes of my own. I have noticed that many men and women my age (no I am not that old) returning back to school be it graduate work or post graduate. It is a forever changing world.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN...BUT THERE IS ALWAYS NEXT SUMMER...RIGHT?
Hey ....on the bright side. It's not 20 degrees below 0 ...lol so me and you (ppl from the midwest ) should be very happy and enjoy the sun......lol **Wink**
So is the cemetery thing resolved for your family now, I'm not sure?
thegaytekeeper: Yes there is always next summer.:)
Deewan: You are absolutely right "I sholdn't be complaining being that winter is right around the corner." Oh yeah we both know what Fall and Winter can be like here in the Midwest.
Curious: Naw man they are still witholding information, I was able to locate a couple of headstones of family members via: the internet, but it is just a picture hell they could have placed the found headstone anywhere I need more evidence that the vault, and remains are still in place.
what happened with the cemetery thing? hope all ends well.
I agree with the other folks - there's always next summer, right? And I hope that cemetery issue works out - I heard about that on the news. Burr Oaks, right?
Take some time for you.
I have been thinking about getting away all day!
