Even though it was almost a month after our actual wedding date(6/17), Ann and I vowed that we were going to renew our wedding vows this year. Yesterday morning, we finally put our words into action by renewing our vows at our church without any problems at all. After all, we had reached a pretty […]
I feel like the luckiest man on earth writing this, with today marking what has been the best 20 years of marriage to the most incredible woman a man could ever ask for in someone like my wife, Ann. As a way to celebrate our super achievement, Ann, our son Eric and I decided […]
On Saturday night, Ann and I enjoyed another of Erics’ shows- A Chorus Line- and as usual it was great. Eric was super too. Playing the part of Greg,Eric sang when he had to but, in my opinion, it was how well he portrayed his character, a 32-year old homosexual man. As Greg, Eric brought […]
I finally settled on talking about our dogs Buddy and Zoe, two Yorky Maltese hounds that we rescued and the last type of dogs that I ever thought I that I would own. I opened my speech by asking if anyone in the “capacity” crowd had a dog just to get an idea how interested […]
Earlier this week(Monday) I did my latest speech for the Toastmasters Group that Ann and I belong to. Since I hadn’t thought of a topic until the last day or two, I decided honor my late parents only a day after what would have been their 68th wedding anniversary. Now, I started off my speech […]
Last Friday, Ann surprised me with the coolest suggestion of what we could do for that day, which I believe was Good Friday. I’ll have to admit, I didn’t realize what a long drive it was but, hey, once we showed up I felt like a 10-year kid first, seeing the first Cooperstown sign and […]
I’ve only been home a couple of days from a super trip that Ann had organized for us, 10 days of mostly beautiful weather, opposite from the cold, East Coast weather, that we took to Arizona, and let me tell you, I sure do miss it! Our trip started in Sedona, where we visited and […]
Yeah, Eric is talented enough to be one of the few people from his school chosen to attend this classic place. He’ll begin May 7, attend three comedy-related classes-improv, intro to stand-up one other that I forgot the name of, and be there for a total of six weeks. How could a parent, sorry, make […]
Back in 2017, my wife Ann had a great idea for me, though, apparently, I didn’t immediately take to her idea: to join the fairly new boxing gym that had opened up in Thomaston. According to Ann, part of the story goes like this: when I first started to go to Blue Boy, owners Coach […]
This past Monday night, I took on a different role at our latest Toastmasters meeting in Naugatuck because I couldn’t think of anything to give a speech on, but it was pretty cool doing something else. Now, my role for this meeting was to host a part of the meeting called Table Topics. What I […]
Just a couple of days ago, I turned 55 years old, an age at which my dear mother mother passed away nearly 35 years ago. Now, I was 20 years old when she died and now, I’ve got a 20 yearly son myself. Believe me, my wife, Ann and I didn’t plan things to be […]
Ann and I discussed spending more time together earlier this week. Saturday night we went to The Jameson Pub in Watertown, where the band, Stiletto, who played a nice selection of Fleetwood Mac classics including Don’t Stop, Go Your Own Way, Hold Me and many more. For me, it was the fact that the Jameson […]
And it’s all because of Ann. We had some major repairs completed in our bathroom due to the floor sinking in causing the toilet to not be level which caused leaking. The men working are in the latter stage of finishing their work by taking out the sink, totally removing the bathtub and installing a […]
