Ready or not...
... Here he comes!'He' is Brandon II, my grandson. His dad dropped by tonight (right while I was trying to squeeze out the last stanza of the last poem for SeptaVerse) and he left a few photos. Since folks have been asking to see pics of the little tiger, the visit was fortuitous. BJ is now 4 months old, but in these shots he was ten weeks.
In the shot on the left, he sits in my son's lap. Brandon I is starting point guard for the Finger Lakes Community College basketball team, which had an awesome year in 2K5/2K6. I'd like to think BJ (Brandon II) is already imagining himself slipping a no-look pass to the open man on a fast break. He's got that 'look' in his eye... I dunno - whaddya think?
Last, but not least, at the bottom is a shot of my little tiger with his Mom Dominique and my son, the original BJ.
When I gave Brandon copies of the five SeptaVerse books already completed he said, "Dad, it's incredible how far you've taken this Spoken Word Thing." I thought about that. Three years ago, he and I were watching an episode of Russell Simmons Def Poetry and he told me he thought I could do something like that...
Guess he was right. And I'm gonna do a whole lot more of it. Yeah, ready or not, here I come, too.
