Also, on Tuesday, 09/11 of this year, I was terminated from my position as Park Worker II / Hostess at General Butler State Resort Park, without cause. Those were the words on the letter. Without cause. Okay, so this means many things, yet only one. I know. They know. Those of you reading this know. Can we say DISCRIMINATION?

Yep, now they are rid of not only me, but the one person they've fought hardest to make quit on their own . . . yes, Miss Natalee Ellen. However, she was stronger than the monster and did not quit. Neither did I through all of the harrassment. Harrassment. What an ugly behavior. Natalee and I were harrassed almost daily. Yet, we tried to struggle through it and perhaps, just maybe, I mean, we hoped that maybe . . . eventually they'd like us like they like everyone else, because we really do want to work at the park. We like our job. We care about the park. So what the heck is the problem? I saw so much BS transpire in front of my very eyes, and none that my daughter and I were a part of . . . yet, I was terminated. I guess that's what it was. We weren't like others, and ya know, I'm sort of proud to be able to say that.

Gotta run! See ya!

Leon Redbone

Okay, so I went to the Blues to the Point Saturday evening and paid $20 to get in to see Leon Redbone. It was worth it! The man behind the music is a legend, an art . . .
I took the risk and walked up to him after the show and asked for his autograph. I did this with nothing but an envelope with the contents being two of my pieces of poetry. I had promised these poems to a great friend, songwriter, singer, and one-day-legend, who was playing downtown. I tried to give this to him on my way to Leon's show, but he wasn't there. I had intentions of giving them to him on my way, back . . . but alas, the poetry wasn't there. Yes, Leon Redbone not only autographed the envelope, and my pen he used for the signing, but he also kept the contents. I'm honored. Sorry Keith, I can send you some more. Promise.

Not only is Leon Redbone one of my favs due to childhood memories, I do love his work. After the show, I was walking home, my cousin called. He informed me that Leon Redbone was also a fav of my dear brother who no longer walks this earth in the physical form. I knew I had a sense of calm that night - Russell was with me.

He was with me, protecting me as he did all my childhood years and beyond . . . he is pleased that I have found his beautiful sons once again . . .

I text-messaged with Calvin most of the evening up until last night. He was doing a show in Cinci. I'm so very proud, as I know his Daddy is.

David is having some issues at whether or not he should maintain a relationship with me because of some influences in his life. It's all okay David. I love you and Calvin more than anything, just like my own . . . whatever it takes to keep your life peaceful, I will accept. Just know that I am with you in heart, soul, and thoughts, all the time. If you ever need me, I'm here for you. Though my life is crazy with chaos, I will still try to find a way to put aside all of that for you. Of you I am proud as well. You are doing your best to follow your heart and do the right thing for everyone concerned. So much like your Daddy, and yeah, me too - regardless what others say . . . they don't know.

. . . after all of this, all of this calm, peaceful Saturday evening with Leon Redbone, I walked up to the doors of a church I'd been wanting to attend, and went inside . . .

Until next time . . . "Keep On Truckin" . . . Baby . . .
