Born in 1975, the product of two beautiful parents. Raised in West Baltimore—not quite The Wire, but sometimes ill all the same. Studied at the Mecca for some years in the mid-’90s. Emerged with a purpose, if not a degree. Slowly migrated up the East Coast with a baby and my beloved, until I reached the shores of Harlem. Wrote some stuff along the way.

So, I'm signing off guys--for a couple hours, at least. As you guys know, I've had a crush on the Atlantic peeps for awhile. In a bout of insanity, they've decided that I'm not so bad myself. This blog will be moving at some point today. Any comments made here after 12 noon, may not make it over. See you guys on the other side. Thanks so much for your support these past few months. If you guys didn't read, this wouldn't be happening. I am not afraid to say it--I love you all.

T.
