[July 21, 2024] I liked nothing more than riding my motorcycle out on the open road, headed to nowhere in particular. I’m just riding with the wind in my face.

[July 7, 2024] With a quick motion, I was dunked underwater by Preacher John at the Southern Baptist Church of Mer Rouge, Louisiana, in the Fall of 1961.
