Name:

Furman Grad, Sociology major but it was little tougher than Auburn football players had Had three dates with beautiful women the summer of 1978. Did not marry any of em. Never married anybody cause what was available was undesirable and what was desirable was unaffordable. Unlucky in love as they say and even still it is sometimes heartbreaking. Had a Pakistani Jr. Davis Cupper on the Ropes the summer of 84, City Courts, Rome Georgia I've a baby sitter, watched peoples homes while they were away on Vacation. Freelance writer, local consultant, screenwriter, and the best damn substitute teacher of Floyd County Georgia in mid 80's according to an anonymous kid passed me on main street a few years later when I went back to get a sandwich at Schroeders. Had some good moments in Collinsville as well. Ask Casey Mattox at www.clsnet.org if he will be honest about it. I try my best to make it to Bridges BBQ in Shelby NC at least four times a year.

Woke up August Three in a world without Serena

   What a match, what an ending. Big Woman in all that humidity in the third set just a few months after the Oscar slap.....I thought she might collapse. 

   A friend from Alabama texted you could see the sweat on her legs. I was thinking put race aside and She was Liston and a White Ali was about to take her out. She kept going down four in the bottom of the ninth--that metaphor needs work--down four in the third set. But she kept hittin line drives powerful shots and saved five match points. And then she got to that drop shot and I thought she goes gonna stumble and take the net  out and that's how she'll be re remembered, her final shot. But she won the point


   Come back to this later as I'm on tablet and little foreign and dicey with every tap of a key. But I wanted to get this out there.

     She was great in this final singles match., Great Setting. The Serbian or Czech girl was almost Lincolnesque in her victory comments turned authentic tribute

   Straight outta Compton, God Bless America Oracene and all of em, even Spike Lee. Race Pride, they did it, America rose to this occasion
