In place of Elvis, the Pied Piper of his generation, Grizzard now...

Instead, we invented a game called "Ruler Hockey." We sat at opposite ends of the room, each... In 6th grade, I was part of my school's Enrichment Program.

My hope is that you will be highly entertained and profoundly moved. If hope is the greatest of things, then what...
