I cried less than I expected during the 5 days in South Carolina; mostly there were tears of joy. Eric Steven Richardson passed away last June, but the love among family members is wide and strong, and it's a large family. I met the three brothers I've heard so much about, and a Step-brother, and a Brother from Omega (you know who you are!) and many cousins, Sisters, uncles, aunts, ministers, deacons, neighbors. Thank you Zion Canaan Baptist Church for the food for spirit and body. The baked chicken is more popular than the fried!
I thank every single person who hugged Ethan and me. Every person who smiled.
The day we arrived, I managed to destroy two (more?) tourist shot glasses in the Columbia airport, and was calculating the bite out of my wallet, and the kind people said, don't you even think about paying for them! That is not a response I imagine from any body in New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, or Massachusetts...
Perhaps the oldest relative I met was: Ms Lillian Hockaday(??)Jones, Eric's Great Aunt, Ethan's Great Great Aunt, 88 years young, who traveled from North Carolina to be present.
Thank you to the Many in the Northeast who supported and encouraged this Trip in myriad ways, not leastly the Blogging Team here...
Thank You, Creators!

Welcome Bugzita!
I am happy to announce that the Team is growing! Bugzita of PostFoetrydot com fame (and a writer of many forms in many settings) has kindly agreed to contribute!
She has technical skills far beyond mine.
She brings geographical insights from Pennsylvania, Iowa, Macedonia & lands unnamed.
Bugzita, thank you!
Next week is school vacation for my son. Would that we were already reporting with the Pitchers and Catchers in Florida, Arizona and? Nevada(California?) but we have not yet been recruited or discovered. We will be spending some time in New Haven (Nutmeg State) and perhaps in Other Places.
Roger Clemens may or may not go to Heaven, but I agree with William Rhoden (in todays NYTimes, section C )that he deserves the same exact treatment given Barry Bonds and Marion Jones.
By Heaven, I mean no disrespect to the blog of Mairead Byrne., http://www.maireadbyrne.blogspot.com/
