While going through my wedding officiating files for my next ceremony in April, I came across this picture I was beginning to think was lost to time!
Me, my brother Jim, and our Mom in NYC, circa June 1978! Little did I know I'd be wearing that shirt for at least a week!! Thanks, Air France!!

Miles is now the age I was when I started reading Spider-Man, and Marvel Comics, regularly. He doesn't read the comics, per se, but is an avid player of the Marvel Rivals video game (along with his sister. So he and I had a *lot* to talk about this trailer earlier today!! π

DEEP CONVERSATIONS WITH MY SON IN THE A.M.
MILES: Hey, Dad, did you see GameStop said the Sony PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Wii U are "retro consoles"?
ME: Huh.
MILES: Does that make you feel old??
ME: No. My knees make me feel old. (particularly the right one!)
MILES SHOULD KNOW BY NOW
Moving a new (to us. It's a thrift store find) coffee table into the living room, Miles notices it's crooked.
MILES: So are you going to straighten it up, or leave it askew?
ME: Leave it what??
MILES: Askew.
ME: Gesundheit!
MILES: ......I'm not gonna help you anymore. πππ

Now I've got *two* sick teenagers, and their Mom said she wasn't feeling so hot either when I saw her this morning. Not to jinx it, but: "I'm the sole survivor"!

DEEP CONVERSATIONS WITH MY SON IN THE SCHOOL CAR CIRCLE
MILES: Are you aware your body is basically a haunted house? It has a skeleton, a ghost, and blood on the walls.
ME: And *this* voice. (in my best Paul Frees) "Welcome, foolish mortals...(proceeds with the Haunted Mansion Ghost Host monologue)
