The love of books–what does that mean? To some it is the endless joy of reading from your first waking hour to your last blink of your eye before slipping into the restful bliss of sleep. To others it may be book collecting, finding books that may otherwise be lost–buried in a garage or estate sale, a bookstore, or dusty …

Well, today was a slow day. My son has been fighting off some allergies (“Thanks, dad, for the suckie genes.”) So, he has been a little on the slow side. By that, I mean, he’s not running back and forth for a half-hour straight. He is down to a pedestrian 20-minutes of full-on running back-and-forth. So, for a sick day, not …

Well, my son has decided to embrace his inner Picasso, and is drawing on anything and everything. I  have art on my walls, doors, floors, it even finds it’s way on him tattoo-style (arms,legs, hands and stomach)  and every now and then on some paper. He uses pens, markers, pencils, paint, and also chalk–to produce his masterpieces around my house. He …

Today, I lost a little more of my childhood–with the passing of Pat Summerall. I started watching football a lot back in 1980–around the ripe, old age of 7. So, the voice for me on Sunday’s–watching football–was the team of Pat Summerall and John Madden. For Monday night Football, the trio–Al Michaels, Frank  Gifford, and Dan  Dierdorf–was equally as good in my eyes. …

Yes, for a lot of people, this is against everything they stand fo– a hate crime against all traditional lasagnas from the world over. Trust me, I love my hamburger and sausage, a carnivore of epic proportions, but my son loves chicken. A lot. Also his Mother doesn’t eat red meat or pork, so when she eats with us not all …

Well, another week has gone by. This is what I’ve learned or what I think I learned: “Milk  can’t fly.” My son has been experimenting with his milk for some time now. Sadly, each experiment ends the same way–with the cup-and-milk going up and cup-and-milk going down. It’s easy to think: he is just making a mess; and, if he is …
