Born of Fire
Tonight I was headed back to the airport after a successful, and much needed day in the Bay. I came up to have a meeting with a new customer, spent some time with a few office colleagues and then met up with my daughter Imani at her work. Then the two of us went out …
I grew up in a small town in California (well… small by Bay Area standards… there were about 30,000 people when I was in High School 😀 ). In my town there were two high schools: Mine was on the south side of town and the other on the north side. At the time in …
