Surprise. It's the warm, rich voice of my father.

nice....,

While I speck you were in the FISA database already DV, this morning's call pretty much guarantees that fact.

that notwithstanding, it's cool as the bottom of a pillow.....,

Brother Torrance! What's up my man. Been meaning to get to your health care piece. Please send link again.

I've never seen the Red Sea. Send a flick.

Denmark Vesey said...

Uh Oh CNu.

What is the FISA data base? And, why would I be in it now?

Wow, this musta been an amazing trip. I went to Egypt on a high school History Society Tour and it was the best! Seeing the pyramids, temples and the Sphinx with my own eyes was incredible. We have such a rich history and sadly not enough Black people travel to see their own heritage, let alone pick up a book or engage in meaningful conversation with another to learn more about ourselves.

I liked the South more than the urban North bec the people were very welcoming and they treated me as one of them because they saw me as a Nubian. In the North we went to the major cities; Cairo and Alexandria. And like any other big city in the world; people don't have too much time to talk.

I've always wanted to go back sometime but with Ethiopia as the main destination - I was in Addis only for a day en route to Egypt. At the time I wasn't as spiritually drawn there as I am now.
