I am Best of 2006, No Really. Stop it. Really. C'mon.


Life is all about comfort zones. My writing is pushing me well outside of that, like this blog. Sure at times it is funny, sometimes not, but it is putting something out there that can be judged.

This is one of those the truth is stranger than fiction.

In the mail today I get this invite. It seems I've been selected to be one of 65 invited authors of letters to the editor at an awards reception. I am not sure I am honored, though there is free food.

There are thousands that write in, most of them to complain about something. Maybe mine was chosen because I wasn't complaining so much as offering a solution. Or maybe I just sounded more sane than the other whack jobs out there...sounded is the key word in that sentence.

It says mine was chosen do to its timeliness, writing style and a fresh viewpoint. If that isn't me, I don't know what is...

In my first (and only) letter to the editor, I get this. I wish I had won that lottery in Belgium instead...

Do you really eat hors d' oeuvres? That is French from something yucky, isn't it? We all know your feelings about anything French.

True on both accounts, I am no fan of the French and I do love choco cake.

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
