Deep into summer and all that it brings… »

It’s funny how it takes until the end of July to get settled into summer. I imagine I may be feeling this way only because of the drama our family has had to endure since the May death’s of my Dad, Grandma, and beloved neighbor. But still, I am only now feeling as if summer [...]

Celebration of life…. »

As many of you know, my Dad died in May. May 16th to be exact.
Well, after much planning, we had his “Celebration of life” party last Sunday.
My Dad was a big fan of the Hawaiian Islands and anything tropical. So we invited about 200 of his friends, family, business associates and acquaintances to a big [...]

My interview with J.K Rowlings on her new Harry Potter Book. »

Me: Hi Jo. You don’t mind if I call you Jo do you?
JK: No, that’s my name.

Making a Father proud. »

Let me begin by saying, we are a gaseous family. At least on my side. Though my Wife can compete with the best of them. (Yes, we are that juvenile sometimes.) I mean, come on, I do call my kids the Farty Pants Twins for a reason.
So, suffice it to say, that tonight at dinner, [...]

I’m a winner baby…. »

So here I am in Vegas, I just won an ass-load of money. I hit 777. Can you believe it. I hit 777 on 7-7-07. I know, how cool is that. I can’t believe it either.
And neither should you. I’m really in the Lake Tahoe area and it’s a beautiful day. Hanging with the family [...]

You must be kidding me…. »

My kids play with Cabbage Patch Dolls on occasion. They play with those ugly, weird, out of proportion Cabbage Patch Dolls. Just looking at them makes me think ughh! But! Here is the thing…Our Cabbage Patch Dolls are black. We are white folk. Oh, and if you must know, I could give a shit that [...]
