Ok I lied

I was supposed to get back in the saddle and tell you nice folk all
about funny things that happen to me. Bit today wasn't that day.

I could blame it on Steve Jobs of Apple giving his yearly keynote that
I had to cover. Bit that was more a want than have to.

Don't take my advice.

That is the real reason I am not writing today. You see, the last guy
that took my advice killed himself over the weekend. Yeah, no kidding.

You might recall the kid on my soccer team whose mom died of cancer. I
reached out to his dad offering what little advice I could, things I
wished my dad had done or said.

Anyhow, seems his sorrow was too deep and he shot himself at his wives
grave site. Leaving behind three kids including one in Reagan's class.

We found this out yesterday and we have talked with Reagan.

I am still a bit freaked. I just saw the guy on Thursday at a thing a
Reagan's school. We exchanged dad like pleasantries. He looked somber
but after sharing something like I did, I was a bit awkward around him.

So that is it. It is not you. It is me.

Just don't take my advice.

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....
