Lord knows dreams are hard to follow, but don't let anyone tear them away.

To quote Frank Sinatra, "Regrets, I've had a few / But then again, too few to mention."

My father identified as a black man. No one asked him because he was clearly black. But people always ask me. If we were together, people would look at us in a really strange way. It sucked. As a little girl I had blond hair and they'd look at me, look at him, and be disgusted.

Sipping Bailey's Cream by the stereo, trying to find relief on the radio. I'm suppressing the tears.

Heartbroken and in tears over the shocking death of my friend, the incomparable Ms. Whitney Houston. My heartfelt condolences to Whitney's family and to all her millions of fans throughout the world. She will never be forgotten as one of the greatest voices to ever grace the earth.

Everyday is a holiday with me.

I'm very hard on myself and I have too many issues.
