So, at the Union Mission, we have chapel every night at 6. Most nights we have guest preachers. The one we had Friday night rattled off a list of places he used to go in the late ‘90s, back before he found Jesus and was just a lowly sinner. And one of the places on his list was… RAIFORD’S!!!
HELL YEAH brother! I was right there sinning with you!
November 1999: I made out with one of my former calculus students on Raiford’s dance floor. She had her sister with her so I couldn’t take her home to finish what we started. Then, less than a week later, she accepted a job offer in a Midwest city and poof, she was gone. Typical of my luck with women.

Cheers to the burrito ministry, who fed me yesterday morning in front of Court Square a few minutes after 9. I had two delicious sausage, egg, and cheese burritos, a Dr. Pepper, and two packs of SweetTarts Minis. They offered pretzels too but I get plenty of those at the Mission, where they’re a frequent dinner side dish.
That’s it for now… I may miss a day or two posting to the blog this week as my focus will be getting back on Medium.
