What a great post - I'll modify one: love is going to the store for her tampons and buying nothing else to pad the order and not making her feel bad about it. You do it all willingly - happy to serve. Happy Valentine's Day do something for someone else Moskowitz

Very well written. I kept expecting some kind of twist, but I realized that was the wrong way to read it. So, I read it and it was perfectly realized. Good job! Thanks for sharing. - Moskowitz

Thanks, ForeverSerenity, As an overweight, middle aged married man, living in the Southern California suburbs, I sometimes feel like I don't have the kind of "cred" needed to be a vital member of the arts community. My loyal readers (like you) at JU are a great source of validation. Thanks! God Bless, Moskowitz

No misunderstanding here - I know what you're saying. I look forward to the day when race becomes the truly arbitrary and meaningless thing that it is. Until new ideas and new behaviors have become internalized (and dare I say accepted) by the culture en masse , I guess events like "Black History Month" are a necessity. Most people usually have friends that are either: a. Jewish b. Mexican-Americans c. Sociologists d. None of the above Rarely are they

(Do I dare open this can of worms?) I feel that by Black History Month perpetuates the segregation of great black leaders from great leaders of other ethnicities. Is there a glass ceiling on regular history, too? If it does segregate, it does so only in reaction to a segregation that existed (in textbooks, laws and civil rights) until the 1960's civil rights movement.

"I can't make generalizations about people but one by one they are pissing me off." In line with that very astute observation, shouldn't this have been titled "Some White People Can't Win?" Or even, "This White Person Can't Win." Sadly, the incr

When I read something this passionate, I always wonder how much of it is autobiographical. Very well done. - Moskowitz
