Mat,
As it just so happens, the day after Willie's memorial service, I drove my middle brother to Los Angeles to pick up my younger sister so that we could go visit my older sister in Las Vegas. We made it to Las Vegas and had a pleasant dinner with my older sister at the Olive Garden. I had planned on taking my sisters to see a Vegas show but whenever we get together we seem to wind up entertaining ourselves. The dinner lasted a long time and then my older sister suggested that we go over to her middle daughter's house. We did so and were just in time to catch the latest edition of Real Housewives of Atlanta. ... at least I think it is Atlanta. That is the show with the woman who sort of looks like Nene on it. You know "Coach Roz" from Glee?
I don't know Mat, after a few minutes of watching that, I did begin to feel as though I had descended into an era of cultural decline. Is this what we focus on? Really?
Of course, it is entertaining, but so was witnessing the aftermath of the fatal big rig collision on I-5 that occurred while driving down to Victorville on the previous Friday night. It was entertaining, but not uplifting by any stretch of the imagination.
Peace,
Everett "Skip" Jenkins

At the memorial service for Willie Pringle, I was pleasantly surprised to be joined by my middle brother, who drove all the 400 miles from the Bay Area. After the services, we kicked back at Applebee's for lunch and then went over my brother's (formerly Mom and Dad's) house to spend the night with my youngest brother. While there my brother introduced us to the show Empire. To my great dismay, I found it addictive. Someway, somehow, I think my Amherst education has failed me. Am I wrong?
Peace,
Everett "Skip" Jenkins
