Today, I highlight the Baby Boomers Tribute to recognize all Baby Boomers; eight siblings, David Letterman and other fabulous Boomers. We heard David Letterman admit to his liaisons and attempted blackmail extortion plot. Years ago in Natchez, Mississippi , eight siblings, all Baby Boomers, under the age of thirteen, sadly lost their mother. The siblings; Vivian Beatrice Young Bright, Dr. James Henry Young, Jr., Bernice Young Tolbert, Theron Young Eagleton, Lonnie Lee Young, Deborah Ann Young, Dr. Devell Ray Young and Glenda Faye Young battled adversity. In Baby Boomer style, the siblings adapted to harsh realities, relied upon intuition and forged ahead with rare confidence. David Letterman used his Boomer personality to humorously and cleverly address his issues. The siblings and David Letterman are Baby Boomers, a determined, resourceful, resilient crew.

I believe for over 70 years, Natchez, Mississippi was graced with the most interestingly amazing grandma ever; my Grandma Charity. Grandma Charity was never acknowledged by the Governor of Mississippi or the Natchez City Council. No, Grandma Charity never knew fame. But, she definitely possessed super powers of wisdom and tons of unconditional love. And, not one person who interacted with her was able to resist improving themselves. Even though Grandma Charity is no longer with us, her selfless deeds continue to fuel and influence many generations. So, on Grandparents' Day 2009, Grandma Charity is dubbed as Grandparent of the Century.

Several years ago, I was fortunate to meet numerous Negro League players in Secaucus, New Jersey. I was in baseball heaven; all of the players were ever so accommodating and genuinely humble. For years I had seen pictures of Negro League baseball players. Then, during one fall weekend, I not only met and took pictures of countless number of Negro league players, but also Lionel Hampton. My time with those incredible players of the Negro Leagues inspired the Players of Valor, the Negro Baseball Leagues poem and visual poetry.

Each year, September is recognized as National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. The many lives ripped apart due to chemical substances inspired my Recovery Road poem. And, the Recovery Road visual poetry was created to encourage individuals who honestly desire sobriety and long-term recovery. No, denial must not be allowed to control and domineer. For, to sustain recovery, one must be determined, committed and sincere…

I am appalled to know that Houston, Texas ranks the lowest on the list for responsible pet poop scooping in the United States. On any given day I see numerous proud pet owners walking their meticulously trimmed and leashed pals allowing them to drop piles of poop. I have yet to have seen one Houston pet owner scoop their pets poop; instead they praise their pets as they walk away. I am challenging Houstonians to seriously take the Poop Scoop Pledge. Houstonians when you walk here and there with your best pal, proudly carry a scooper to remove all residual. Houstonians, d on’t allow your neighborhood duty to go awry, many can be harmed by the fecal bacteria group. So, when pal squats to drop piles of poop, quickly remove it with a clean swoop.
