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 […]
In just a couple of days, our son, Eric, will be turning 18 years old! Pretty much an adult, a man pushing six feet tall who grew up, it seems to me, in the blink of an eye. I’m sure that, to anyone with kids who reads or read this can totally relate to that […]
For one afternoon, it was a joy see all my brothers and sisters’ and a few of my nieces and and nephews from their respective homes at one time as we met at an agreed time and caught up with one another, among other things. After we initially logged in to take part in this […]
It’s a given that people may be a little less patient with one another, at times, as the COVID-19 continues to alter so many peoples’ lives. As a result, tempers will flare from time to time. Today, in a very minor incident, I was at the Cumberland Farms picking up a couple of things BUT […]
One of my favorite holidays is just about here-no, it’s not just because of all the food- and I thought that I would take a few minutes to say what I am truly thankful for, each and every day. I’m thankful that I have a beautiful and healthy wife,Ann, who works so hard to make […]
Dear Dad, Well, dad, it’s hard to believe that nearly an entire year has already gone by since you went to be with mom. I thought that I would write another blog to you to let you know, that we’re all hanging in there. The picture of you and I that I put with the […]
Like most children, I was a tad nervous when I began attending this school (St. Francis of Assisi School) in Torrington, for the very first time, not to mention a Catholic school whose goal, I thought, was to combine a good education with a strong emphasis on behavioral discipline. But as time went on, things […]
That it I am talking about is learning Spanish, something that I barely managed to do many years ago in my last Spanish class-high school- but that I held my own with last night when Ann and I began our online Spanish class. The teacher for our class, Spanish is Fun was a woman named […]
It feels like just yesterday, but was actually closer to about 17 years ago that Ann and I took Eric to his first school/day care environment. In just a few days, Eric will begin his senior year of high school, an honor student preparing to cap an amazing four-year run and move on to […]
What I am about to write about is simply a lunch that I had earlier yesterday with one of my brothers, Steve, and one of my friends, Mike. Seeing as how how all three of us take eating pretty seriously, we agreed that lunch at The Berkshire Cafe in Torrington was the the perfect choice. […]
When Buddy- one of our dogs and I- reached the store that we go to down the street from our house each morning, I grabbed something to drink and then made my way to the cash register to ring out. Suddenly, a one of the guys who works there-I’ll call him Gump- greeted me and […]
