Here's the deal---I love reading blogs but I am whack at keeping one up to date. So I thought I'd just keep

a nice, updated schedule page so that you'll be able to stay up on my travels. Schools, conferences

bookstores and library visits are rolling in. Who knows, I may be in your vicinity soon. If so, come out and
 
show a brotha some love. I'll also try to take photos at the scheduled events and post them on this page.

...Don't hold me to it though. I'll definitely try to chronicle my visits and share my amazing travels with you
 
all.

Promise (fingers crossed tight)

peace and blessings
