Hello Everyone,
Firstly, Aqa Aakhu is doing well. We’re adjusting to being back in NYC and the fast pace that comes with it. We’re both feeling a little sluggish after 2 weeks in Mexico. Ready? GO!!
Aqa Aakhu and I arrived back in NYC on Saturday, March 1, at about 9:30am. The following day was the funeral for a friend of ours, Ur Auat Menetert, simultaneously with dance class for a performance later this month and lastly a family of our friends, Asadullah and Akilah et al, were having a going away party b/c they are moving to New Orleans to live. By then it was Monday, time to get back to work. Aqa Aakhu didn’t really stop working while we were in Tijuana, but there was still more to do as there always is. Daycare, school, work. Suddenly it was Friday. Due to another family situation, Friday night I was on my way to Buffalo, NY with my brother Kamau headed into the Blizzard of 2008. It was only a blizzard up there by the lakes. About 18 inches of snow in 24 hours, it was like that.
Monday, Week 2 began with a car accident involving my mother and 2 youngest children in my car. Thank the Ancestors and Thank the Supreme Being that no one was hurt, including in the other car. The short story is that the offending driver was speeding in the bike lane on Bedford Ave and caused the accident when my mother was making a left turn off of Bedford Ave. I left work early and didn’t get home until almost 11pm last night. Here it is 11pm again. Still have errands to run, but I wanted to make sure folks know that we’re back in Brooklyn. Next post I’ll get back to talking about medicine and health and all that.
