Daddy Duck

I think Oregon is for me, even if Smartacus chooses someplace else. It’s the Versailles of the Pacific Northwest.

Say a Little Prayer

Seems inevitable I would end up with Bacharach’s ex-wife, this glorious moonbeam of a woman.

As we were having drinks, I said, “Dr. Steve, how long do you think I have?"

I slipped Smartacus 80 bucks and whispered: “Listen, she’s a genius at this Trader Joe’s stuff. Whatever she buys, you buy."

The cradle is ready, and my first grandchild is a mere 10 weeks away.

Smartacus makes me laugh. He is the punchline of my life – and I am his set-up man.

There are two Great America Myths – 1) Los Angeles 2) the notion that change is good.

I was all impulse; my wife was all class. Outwardly, we fit together like a couple of spoons. Internally, she was a cat, I was a coyote.

Our family isn’t satisfied with the usual massive feast on Super Bowl, we also exchange gifts.

Do prayers work? Aren’t they merely the desperate act of a desperate man? Well, in this case, obviously.
