78 Day Diet

Dedicated to Mr Ronnie Kimbough not only my landlord but a true friend!

I met Ronnie when I had volunteers in Treme. He pulled up in his jeep and asked if he could be of assistance. I Showed him my P.N.O.L.A. Supervisor badge with picture and told him I had a problem gaining access to a property. It was a beautiful block, A couple hundred yards away, you could see the backside of Louis Arm-Strong Park. Ronnie stated he owed the property next to that and could unlock the side gate. What happened next defines who he is! As we were finishing up, cleaning up trash, weed whacking, mowing, spraying weed killer he pulled up. A chest full of drinks, water, soda’s, Gatorade and a dozen of double cheeseburgers, and McChicken sandwiches, his kindness was overwhelming!

V.A. Hospital sad but true story of the destruction of a historical neighborhood, that didn’t have to be!

Guy Gaudet Jr Fiends and roommates for over 10 years! He loves to play his guitar in Jackson Square. The artists that hangs their amazing work all along the fences to the very well maintain park, and buggy drivers, tarot readers residents of the French Quarter love and adore him!

HEAVEN AND HELL

S hawn was awakened suddenly. The beautiful creature laying on his chest stirred about a bit. He loved being with Heather, but having her lay beside him, dressed only in one of his t-shirts covering barely her thong panties, played hell on his sanity! Heather took great pride of the fact she was a virgin. She stated many times it would be worth the wait for the guy who wanted to marry her! And she wanted her wedding night to have purpose and be very special!

Shawn and Heather were seniors at the University of Findlay, located at 1000 N. Main Street Findlay, Ohi Findlay is located in Northwest Ohio. A city of sixty thousand people and home of Marathon Oil. In the 1800s one of the largest natural gas finds was found in and around Findlay. Without a doubt it was the main reason the school’s nickname became the Oilers Shawn was the starting Quarterback for the football team. In recent years the Oilers had become a powerhouse in Division 2 and this year was no exception. Going into the final week Findlay stood undefeated and ranked number one in the nation. The only obstacle between them and a perfect season was their old menace Wilmington.

The Quakers and Oilers disdain for one another was well documented Several after the play flare-ups occurred each game. Being 9-0 and the Quakers 2-7 only intensified and make the game more intriguing. Heather opened her eyes and
