Contents:

Prologue

All that & a bag of chips

Back in the day

Tuesday is a church day, too!

Being a dad sucked the cool right out of me

How watching "programs" can become a career

Your daddy was a child star (and he made it out alive)

Behind the scenes: Black is still beautiful

The huggable cutie

I'm glad I went for broke. For real

There's a thin line between perseverance and delusion

I want you to be proud of me, too

I'm back to singling and mingling

Always meet your heroes

Just like cookies need milk, you need a partner in crime

Everything I need to know about life, I learn from my girls

For those who made me laugh, I salute you

Epilogue: A change is gonna come. Probably. Acknowledgments.
