Thinking About My Dad and a Bird All Over Again
You may have heard me tell this story but since it’s Father’s Day it’s on my mind so I’m sharing it again.

Today is Will’s birthday. It’s also Paul McCartney’s birthday. So when the Beatles sing “You say it’s your birthday…it’s my birthday too, yeah!” they’re actually talking to Will.

Oh, I have a few:
Dude almost puked on the sidewalk.
Asked over dinner, “Friends with benefits?”
Told hot bartender I’m his sister.
So boring, minutes felt like hours.
Kiss-attacked me, against my will.
Neighbor asked if I’m his daughter.
First date ever at Burger King.

Can we talk baseball for a second?
Over at Amazin’ Avenue, Matthew Callan shared some eloquent and honest thoughts on what former Met Gary Carter had meant to him. In case you don’t follow baseball, Carter was recently diagnosed with cancer and the prognosis is not encouraging. While I keep Gary and his family in my thoughts I wish I had been a bigger fan of his growing up. I liked...
