What's the best book you read this year?

Hands down Dreams From My Father by Barack Obama. It made me believe in his candidacy, but more importantly, identify with him as a black man. Spellbinding and very, very relatable. Inspired me to get my trip to Africa on!

Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance

Alexander Oneal Hearsay: The quintessential quiet storm album of 1987-1988.  Jam & Lewis and Alexander O'neal at their finest. Check out my favorite cut from the album, "When The Party's Over"

Was recommended this amazing artist through last fm. She is the real deal. Tessanne is recording her debut cd and will be a major star in 2008.

We're having a great time. Depression almost kept me from taking them but we made it and I'm glad we did. We've gotta do this more often together.  Even though the bus schedule was erratic, the venue was quiet, with two other fathers alone with their children as well.  Everyone had a great time and we came back home and watched our favorite movies.
