Nearly a Decade Later

Ten years ago I was with my ex husband (and crew) bringing a boat up from Florida via the intracoastal. We stopped in South Carolina and were walking from the marina to a restaurant; I was in the lead and an old black man was approaching from the other direction.

When he looked up, he stepped off onto the street so the white woman wouldn't have to share the sidewalk. Memory of that image still hits me hard. When I vote this weekend, I'm going to think about that man - and this one.

For dessert - that "Wassup" beer campaign ... eight years later.
