What was your mama’s favorite thing to do when she was a kid your age?

If you ask her, she’ll probably tell you all about her favorite game and the toy she loved most. She might tell you stories about the trips she took with her family. She’ll remember books she loved, pets she owned, music she danced to, and she’ll tell you about them if you ask.

And some day, you’ll have the same kind of stories for your child, too.

My first stop was at CJ’s in the Strip District where actors Clifton Powell and Carl Payne, along with national recording artist Christopher Williams, came to greet their fans before they performed at the Benedum Center in a play called “I Can’t Stop Lovin’ You.”

My ex-wife and I have been divorced for 18 years. After being married for four years, I had promised myself never to marry again. Well, that thought left two years ago when I met the woman I should have met before meeting my ex.

This is the problem. In my four years of marriage, we had two children, twin boys. They are now 20 years old. One has a wonderful personality and is a junior in college. His brother, however, has a nasty personality (like his mom) and refuses to keep a job. My ex-wife is angry because I won’t buy him a car. If I did that, my fiancée won’t be able to have the elaborate wedding she wants. What should I do?—Ethan
