  Mark enjoyed his carefree bachelor’s life in Los Angeles. He had no steady girlfriend, no children, few responsibilities outside of work. But that all changed when “The Call” came. Genevieve, his eighty-nine-year-old mother, was on her deathbed. He rushed back to New Jersey to be by her side. Hours became days, days became weeks, then she woke up. So, he moved back into his childhood home and took over her care. His first task was to remove all hazards, which included the current caregivers. 
   
  After, Mark asked his mother, “Do you trust me?” She whispered, “Yes.” “Do you understand I will do everything in my power to keep you healthy and safe?” She smiled and nodded. “That means I’m in charge, and that means now you must obey me.” Her mood shifted in an instant. She looked him dead in the eye, then puckered up her lips. He wasn’t sure if this was a sign of surrender or one wishing him luck. He kissed her and hoped for the best. 
   
  The parent/child role reversal may not have been unique to Mark, but how he dealt with it was. One day, hoping to make Genevieve’s time on the commode a tad more pleasant, he offered her a cup of her favorite beverage. It was a hit, and a cup of tea on the commode became a staple on the morning menu, and the clear choice for the title of this intimate, funny, and heartwarming memoir of how eldercare can be done. 
   
  A Cup of Tea on the Commode chronicles Mark’s multitasking adventures of filling his mother’s last years with love, laughter, and joy. Though not always successful, he came pretty damn close.

  A Rare Recording of Senator...

  The Checkers speech was an address made on September 23, 1952, by Senator Richard Nixon (R-CA) at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, six weeks before the 1952 United States presidential election, in which he was the Republican nominee for Vice President. Nixon had been accused of improprieties relating to a fund established by his backers to reimburse him for his political expenses. His place was in doubt on the Republican ticket, so he flew to Los Angeles and delivered a half-hour television address in which he defended himself, attacked his opponents, and urged the audience to contact the Republican National Committee to tell it whether he should remain on the ticket. During the speech, he stated that he intended to keep one gift, regardless of the outcome -- a black-and-white Cocker Spaniel that his children had named Checkers, thus giving the address its popular name.

  Black Enough Man Enough: Embracing My Mixed Race and Fluid Sexuality by Gee Smalls is an unflinchingly honest memoir that explores identity, resilience, and self-acceptance. Narrated by the author himself, this deeply personal audiobook takes listeners on a journey through Gee's experiences growing up in the Gullah Geechee culture of James Island, South Carolina, in the 1980s. 
  From being called a “faggot-ass half-breed” and struggling with racial and sexual identity to the joys and challenges of fatherhood, divorce, and eventually embracing love in its truest form, Gee Smalls shares his raw and inspiring story. With profound candor, he reflects on his path to self-discovery, his advocacy for racial and LGBTQ+ equality, and his journey to building a modern blended family with the man he loves. 
  Published by Audiobook Publishing Services, this powerful memoir is more than a story—it’s a voice for inclusion and authenticity. Whether you're seeking inspiration or a deeper understanding of race, sexuality, and the human experience, this audiobook is a must-listen.
