    Thank You All So Much!
    Thank you for your support through this long and painful ordeal.
    My mom is now at rest. She's no longer in pain. My brother took it very hard, and so did my sister. I'm doing OK. I guess it's because mom was here every day and I knew and saw what was happening, while my brother and sister lived so far from us.
    Today I'm going to climb to a beautiful summit, wit...

    911
    ...
    Sorry I haven't been around in a while, but this time of the year really gets to me. 911 is a day I'll never forget. My friend Gregg Atlas, NYFD, was killed that day when tower number 2 fell on him as he was trying to save the lives of the others who died. I also remember the Twin Towers from working in NYC. I remember going up to the top a few times. I remember all the people. I re...

  • Passion

    Tuesday, September 30, 2008 | A Painful story

    But don't you understand?  Passion doesn't always count.
    My brother was very passionate about everything when I was growing up.  We always had to take certain routes in the car.  It didn't matter if the routes took us on dirt roads and took us hours longer to reach our destination.  He was passionate about lists.  He would constantly demand that I give him my f...

  • A Sad Family Story

    Wednesday, October 1, 2008 | A Painful story

      It was not a very good weekend.  My youngest brother who was estranged from most of the family moved back here in 2005 and we were all trying to get along.  I thought it was going well until last week.  When my dad died, he left us some money and as it turns out, my brother blew through all of it, with the help of  his greedy wife of course.  She got a boob job.&nb...
