Another One Bite's The Dust

My cousin and close friend Russell "Kuke" Miller passed away this morning. I talked with him about two AM and and he was fine. By noon he was dead. No warning, no suffering just gone. He was a funny man with a heart of gold. Unfortunately he liked them powders both hard & soft, up & down, girl & boy. He appeared throughout the trilogy: "STREET LIVES". I am going to miss him but the dope-fiends will miss him even more so...........

Finally

I sold my first book. Well it wasn't to a publisher..... yet. I don't have that elusive contract, hell I'm still trying to find the right agent. A young cousin, heard that I had written a book and asked me if he could read it? I told him jokingly "Sure you got $20?" He reached into his Carhart and pulled out some scratch offs.
"You take dese?" he asked
Not wanting to pass up my first sale, I said sure. He gave me three winners totaling $16 and then he reached into his pocket and came up with 4 Susan B. Anthony dollars. I took them all.
Ron-L probably wasn't aware of it but he was my first sale. I quickly left him and rushed home to print up a copy using my trusty Lexmark. By the time I got back he was gone but I am going to hand deliver it tomorrow.
Excuse me while I run to the "likker sto" and cash these bad boys in.
I'm putting that money in church in the morning
