The police are all over Bed-Stuy ever since that blow-out at the stip joint involving a Black man about to tie the knot.
There is a police camper parked right around the corner. The mobile unit serves as base for the squads of police officers who are now patrolling the streets in my corner of the [...]

I had a feeling something was wrong that day. Something had come over me– a dark veil of hopelessness shattered my day. Out of the blue, an intense feeling of sadness consumed me.
I sensed there was something wrong at home. It was a gut feeling, an intuition, a calling.
I dialed the house.
“Hello?”
He answered the phone, [...]

Tom kept himself busy in his Eighties. Many may assume gay men in their golden years without children and grandchildren live a lonely existence. Not Tom Barbour! When I met the man who played the part of Arthur’s father in the blockbuster “Arthur on the Rocks”, I decided that life did not have to end [...]

‘Billy Bad- Ass Williams’ was a trouble maker and hated the military as much as my boyfriend and I. He was as cute as an E-2 stripe, but as straight as they come.

The skies are partly- to- mostly sunny in Brooklyn today. Tonight the stars will fall from the heavens and I plan to watch them come at us. Wishes are up for grabs tonight– Star Light Star bright,

Wish upon a star tonight…Chances are highly probable [...]
