It was a long, winding road that seemed to stretch endlessly before him, surrounded by mountains and fields. It was a drive he normally enjoyed, especially after a hectic week at the office but today, he was too tensed up. Relax, he urged himself. You're doing the right thing. You're ending a relationship you had …
The Admission
She turned on the radio and tried to listen to a talk show her friend had told her about but there was so much static, that after five minutes of endless crackling, she changed it to another station. As the smooth sounds of R&B filled the car, she tried to relax but she couldn’t. All …
Working Overtime

Donna Summer
I was shocked and saddened when I learned that Donna Summer was dead at the age of 63. When you think disco, you think of the queen of disco who belted out songs like "I Need Love", "Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls". Of course, when you ask men which song they like best by …
Hattie McDaniel
I never knew about Hattie McDaniel until I saw her in Gone With the Wind. She made history when she won an Oscar for playing Mammy in the Academy award winner for best picture. She was the first African American to do so. In her acceptance speech, she said, "I sincerely hope that I shall …
