“Have you always been this cool, funny and handsome?” is a question my kids often forget to ask me. In fact, in over 24 years, they have never asked me that question once. Come to think of it, neither have any of my friends or co-workers. But we will get…

This week, most of my family is at the beach, enjoying a well-deserved vacation. I was fortunate enough to have managed to escaped from having to go, not because I don’t want a vacation or to hang out with my family (they are lovely people, I swear), but because well,…

Ahhh, springtime! The sun is warm again, the days are longer and, after three months of hibernation, people are emerging from their virtual cocoons. For a long time, spring was my favorite season (and not just because it meant the start of baseball). As a younger child, I used to…
