My wife refuses to relocate, but girlfriend will

(NNPA)—Dear Gwendolyn:     

I have been looking for a job for two years or more.  My wife and I are having a big dilemma. This is the problem: Two months ago a large construction firm hired me to be a worker on a bridge reconstruction project. I accepted the job but my wife is refusing to relocate. She is close to receiving her Ph.D. and will not commit to relocate once this has been achieved. My best male friend told me years ago that once my wife receives that big degree, she will kick me to the curb. I must admit, however, my wife has been paying all the bills while I was unemployed, but now refuses to move. However, my woman on-the-side is excited and ready to go. Gwendolyn, what should I do?—Larry

‘In The Heights’ proves home is where the heart is

Pursuit of the American Dream combined with catchy songs and moving rhythms made “In The Heights” at the Benedum theater an outstanding production.

That’s also why Rogelio Douglas Jr., decided to audition for the role of Benny, a worker at Rosario’s Car Service, who dreams of owning his own car business.

“I grew up a young inner- city teen and I considered myself weird because I liked everything from hip-hop to alternative rock and I loved musicals too like ‘Cats’ and ‘Les Miserables.’ I wanted to help bring musical theater to a new generation. That’s what attracted me to the role,” said Douglas, who hails from New York. “I thought of how Benny grew up not knowing his dad too well and I threw myself into the role.”

Cover To Cover...‘Who will I be, Lord’

What do you think the future will be like?

Will we drive cars that float so we can zip above traffic jams? Will you go to school at night and sleep during the day? Do you think there will be cities on the moon or beneath the sea?

And where will you be in the future? What do you imagine you’ll be doing when you grow up? In the new book “Who Will I Be, Lord?” by Vaunda Micheaux Nelson, illustrated by Sean Qualls, a little girl wonders that same thing…
