"Winds of Change in MKE"

We have been caught in a whirlwind of economic chaos for the last few years. As most of you know, I put responsibility on the individual and not the collective. There are circumstances we all face, which put us in troubling situations, but it is up to us to find ways out of those situations and defeat those troubling barriers.

Hard work never killed anyone...remember that!!

I'm Sorry Milwaukee...


Once again, it’s late around here at Home Base. All of my children are over at relatives enjoying time away from the rules and regulations of being home. Earlier today, my father (Ray Senior) came by and chilled with us. It was super-cool! We fell into a discussion of taking a road trip down to Texas so we could visit our people there. The conversation was calm and relaxed as we had an enjoyable time together. While talking with my father, I noticed something.

You all have heard me complain about living in Milwaukee and my desire to relocate back to the South. I’ve stood on a soapbox many times to express my displeasure with the politics and lack of social growth or development. I wonder if my heart felt desire and want to escape and return home has stifled my progression at achieving my desired goal. At my age and point in my life with my family, I truly felt it was my time and my reward at being a good husband and father, I could return home and continue our family back in the South.

My feelings get hurt when I think about Milwaukee and how I’m on the wrong team here…

…just thinking!!!

Pine Hill Road News...



Things around here have been going pretty slowly, but still going. I just dropped the kids off at their karate class at the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center (Saleem Karate-Do). The oldest child is there as well practicing for his 8th grade B-Ball Team (Milwaukee College Prep School - Northstars).

I got shut down this morning from attempting to train Jiujitsu with my team-mates. A great friend and my wife spazed on me about “Doing too much” so I decided to chill.
