"Squirrel Buster"

Yes, it's hot out here in the West VirginIa sun, but no where near as fiery as it gets if Liz's dad goes into the house, which is just full of women. He's got a wife, and an ex-wife and co-workers and a nosy neighbor - and, right now all 5 of his daughters are home, but just for a few more hours . . . So, no, he's gonna stay out here, in the open, mowing the lawn and admiring the engineering of a good bird feeder. But, geeze, he wishes they would just come outside, so he could talk to 'em.

"Parental Guidance"

What becomes of an American living abroad in his father's East African home in San Jose,CA? When his father would lecture him in broken English, Abas struggled to understand him, especially when he ate weed brownies, which he did frequently. Buteven when he was high, Abas learned how to be grounded from his salt of the earth father. Abas discovered that dark skin could be fun and that wearing matching corduroys from Costco with his dad wasn't. Now on his own, Abas is proud of his identity as a black man and he lives by his own rules. But why do all the rules sound so familiar?
