| Lo Fun Fact #1 |
| "Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. For as long as she lived, she had no idea there was anything sexual or seedy about being called "Lolita". |
| Lo Fun Fact #2 |
| I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of
Christian Louboutins. |
| Lo Fun Fact #3 |
| Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all? |
| Lo Fun Fact #4 |
| I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay? |
| Lo Fun Fact #5 |
| I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!! |
| Lo Fun Fact #6 |
| I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position. |
| Lo Fun Fact #7 |
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond. |

| The Final Honor Of A Great, Great Lady. |
| Wednesday, February 08, 2006 |
Yesterday, Coretta Scott King was laid to rest in an extraordinarily regal and beautiful ceremony befitting the royalty that she was. Four of the five living presidents were present...
 ...and Bush gave a most respectful, dignified, uplifting speech...
 ...proving that he did, in fact, care about black people. At least, for that day. A stellar array of speakers paid their respects, giving this iconic woman the due she was more than entitled to.
The funeral program that was given to the attendees was just as memorable.
 Twenty-eight pages offering a glimpse into a fully-realized life...
 ...spanning from childhood to now, touching on all the love...
 ...struggle, tragedy...
 ...triumph, and wonderment in between.
 It included a letter from the President...
 ...as well as a letter from the mayor of Atlanta, and a Proclamation from the governor of Georgia commemorating her life.
(Click the following link to view or download the entire program. File is in .pdf format):
Rest well, our beloved one. You've definitely earned your place in the kingdom.
