A Son’s First Love
This commercial ALWAYS gets to me. Even before I became a dad, this commercial was special. It’s only become extra special through the years as I watch how much my two boys love their mom. I’ve also been blessed to experience the love of a beautiful little princess, my daughter Rachel. Checkout the reaction on…
Oh How The Years Go By
I love Amy Grant and her “Oh How The Years Go By” is one of my favorites. It truly sums it all up for parents. I’ve always heard other parents say that but now I see what they mean. I remember when each of my three children were born. It feels like yesterday. It really…
Glory Baby
The anguish of suffering a miscarriage stays with you forever. The pain might subside to a certain degree but it will always remain with you deep down inside. You always think about how things could’ve been, what milestone you would’ve celebrated had your baby lived. Yes, it’s a torturous game that parents play but we…
G.I. Joe
My brothers and I loved G.I. Joe! It wasn’t a doll for boys, but an action figure! It’s amazing how popular it still is today. They’ve even re-issued the original G.I. Joe as a special collector’s edition. My little brother has an impressive collection today of not only G.I. Joe, but many of the toys…

How Safe Is Your Neighborhood?
This is not going to be a pleasant experience so brace yourself. This is about finding out information that you really don’t want to know about your neighborhood, but trust me this is important and worth doing. Thanks to technology you are now able to perform a search for all registered sex offenders in your…
Just a Dog
Spike was a min-pin (miniature doberman pincher) that didn’t get the memo that he wasn’t a full-sized doberman. He got so sick at the end that I had to take him to the vet to put him down. Now I’m a big tough Italian man so I thought it wouldn’t be that tough so off…
Best Quality Heart
Amy Tan’s classic story of “The Joy Luck Club” is a wonderfully moving experience that stays with you forever. It reveals so much about the dynamic and mysterious relationship between mothers and daughters, no matter what nationality or culture. I think the lessons learned can also apply for the relationship with sons as well so…
