Eventually she became the highest-ranking black woman in New York education. She was always taking that next step. I was working as a custodian when we got married. She was making five times more than me. It bothered me at first. It took some counseling to convince me that she hadn’t ‘settled’ for me.

The slice bread, like the neck tie, got me curious. Did you know the slice bread was invented by somebody?
