The big memory of 2014 was living in Oakland with one of Oaklands main characters.

The man was African American and was once an owner and head chef of a soul food resturaunt.  He knew slave spiritual songs and was amazing at improvisation.  He wore colorful manly clothes, had a good laugh and could put on a mean stare.  He lived life zestfully and was popular with women.  His shoes were as bright red as his motorcycle.  For me he was the best of Alameda County.  Really quite a character.  I hope you are well.
