She So Funny

Two years ago was the last time I had the honor of speaking with poet Amiri Baraka.

It was after his play The Toilet, produced by Woodie King Jr.'s New Federal Theater in a park off NY's FDR Drive. We spoke sitting next to each other on a lower east side bus. 

I shared time and space with a man and a universe whose molten lava core remains forever a firebrand. R.I.P.

I began looking for a new place to live on August 1, 2013.  After months of trips and falls I believe I've finally made some headway.     

Stand-up, finding an apartment, it's all a tightrope!

Rhonda Hansome does stand up when not walking a fine line or coordinating traffic studies on the George Washington Bridge.

Well Dear Readers, 

All three of you, listen up! 

I'm looking for a hungry 5 year old to intern as my social media manager  

                                   and technical guru.
                                   I'm willing to pay in 

                                               

       cookies 




hormone-free milk 

 and unending love and gratitude

Did I revel in peaks and wallow in valleys of 2013?

                                 Oh Yes!
Many a peak and wallow was chronicled here.

                                  Oh No!!
At this writing, I'm STILL not sure about my new apartment situation, in process since Aug. 1, 2013.                                          

Come what may, I thank each 1 and ALL for extending a supportive thought, word or DEED! May this odyssey soon end in my favor.

This week I laughed, cried, danced and decided, if even only for a moment on New Year's EVE...  
                   

                      I am content to be me.                                       

       Oh Excuse Me!

 Here comes another Rhondaful dream, click and enjoy...
