The Morning After (am I A PILL???)


I love this graphic too much not to use it again, but this competition is open to Duke University students only, and the 2012 deadline is March 2, 2012. Additional info can be had here: http://www.teamkenan.org/2012/02/14/reminder-submit-to-what-is-good-art/ .

>>> BECAUSE I have often referred to my family's KENAN INSTITUTE FOR ETHICS at Duke, I feel it appropriate to post a link to EVERYONE on the Advisory Board. Learn more about the Institute's work by following links there:

>>> REPLY TO A PUBLISHED AUTHOR, NPR COMMONTATOR (sic), AND MORE!!!:
Dear Nan,

Thank you for finding the key to actual removal -- which had NOT EVEN OCCURRED TO ME!!! (your phrasing)

I will attempt to do so shortly, but please forgive me if I forget -- AND REMIND ME. I'd rather you not block me if I should have reason to contact you personally in the future.

1. Given your surname and what I learned from your bio online of WHERE you grew up http://www.nangraham.com/biography1.htm , I assume you and I are probably blood related, the Gahams and Kenans going WAY back, and some of the Charitable Trusts funded by "Kenan money" are under the Graham name.

2. THANK GOD you are a writer -- PUBLISHED!!!

3. You are an NPR Commentator -- perhaps, UNCOMMON!!!

4. You teach in the English Department at The University of North Carolina Wilmington -- and I LOVED reading both the positive (predominate) and negative (laughable) reviews of your classes!!!

5. I understand that someone at UNCW is teaching a course this semester on Tennessee Williams at the graduate level, and if you know who, I wonder if you could connect me with him or her. I think it might be interesting to submit myself to those students so they could pick my brain -- probably best at a local bar (grad students SHOULD be legal) or coffeehouse (excepting Port City Java and the Italian Coffee Shoppe on Market -- both of which have banned me for life for political reasons).

>>> Before signing off this morning, I'm going to paste in below what I clarified in the posting this email had broadcast last night, and them might post my reply to you ON my blog, with some links taken out:

>>> Nothing's got my dander. Not at the moment, anyway.

I like Curtis too, but after all the shit I've had to put up with:

1. FIVE jailings for a total of two months on SEVEN false charges by D.A. Ben David,

2. TWO false mental hospital commitments, one signed by Judge Criner, which the Head Doctor (Dr. Martin at The Oaks) IMMEDIATELY knew were lies, so he released me as quickly as he legally could,

3. MULTIPLE threats to my life, sometimes at knife-point with Wilmington Police Officers REFUSING to help me time and time again

4. ALL MY WEALTH STOLEN, and having to LIVE -- EVEN UNDER THE 4TH STREET BRIDGE in downtown Wilmington for a while, etc.),

5. ETC., ETC., ETC. . . .

I wasn't ready for any more crap from ANYONE. My nerves had been completely worn down.


All best,
Scott
