Countdown to LBI!

In less than two weeks the Douglasses and Swanekamps will descend on Long Beach Island to kick off the summer!  There is nothing Donna and I enjoy more at the beach than dinners with Lou and Joan and our families.  The jokes, the stories from way back and laughter are our greatest memories.  That, and great food, Jersey corn and tomatoes, breakfasts at Neptune, baking in the sun, reading on the deck off the downstairs den, the smell of salt air and sunscreen, body surfing, dip-tops, bike rides, watching Fourth of July fireworks on the roof, yadda yadda yadda.  Somebody's got to live the dream, right?


But first we have to get Donna and Kate back from their road trip on Thursday night.  I have a conference next week in Chicago, then back in time to pack and boom-shacka-lacka.  Right before vacation the Swanekamps are moving to a new townhouse a few blocks from where they are now so they will be pretty busy (crazed actually).  Jack is wrapping up filming of season 2 of a Youtube sitcom, then he's off to a conference of his own (he gets paid to go, unlike me) in Anaheim, then he arrives either in Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Newark or Barcelona on the 2nd.  First stop: Udder Delights!

Jack and Erin's Wedding!

This past weekend Jack married Erin Breslin in Santa Barbara. Erin is smart, sassy, strong, funny, and beautiful. She and Jack are nearly inseparable, and when they are together, they talk and laugh nonstop like two school kids. As Donna noted in her beautiful, heartfelt remarks at the rehearsal dinner, it's hard to know what they have left to talk about after carrying on this continual conversation for more than three years. It is obvious to anyone who sees them that they are head over heels in love. Donna and I had met Erin's parents last December in Philadelphia. We immediately became friends and found that we shared a lot of common values -- particularly the importance of family. It was great to see them again in Santa Barbara and to meet their son Gerard and many of their siblings and in-laws. It also was great to meet some of Jack's fellow YouTubers. There's a culture of camaraderie in the industry, and many of them were eager to help Jack when he was g...

Paris In the Spring

Donna and I just returned from a week in Paris – and it was spectacular. France hadn’t been on my bucket list. First off, there’s the whole foreign language thing. Not my forte, in the same range that brain surgery isn’t my forte. Then there's the reputation of French inhospitableness, particularly toward Americans. If I’m not wanted, don’t worry, I’ll stay away. Finally, I imagined it as a snooty, glitzy, high-end-fashion kind of place – you know, movie stars, swimming pools – out of my comfort zone. We ended up going to fulfill a dream of Donna’s: Not so much of seeing Paris (she had done so years ago on a high-school trip), but of seeing Yundi Li, a 40-year-old Chinese pianist, give a performance there. The language barrier turned out to be manageable. Donna took eight years of French in school and was using Pimsleur to bone up. I started using the online app too – though at the introductory level. In real life, I could have gotten by without Donna’s near fluency because mos...

My Childhood Paradise

When I was five our family moved to a neighborhood in Rockville that would become a Paradise for me.  Our new home was on Leverton Road, the southernmost street in Hungerford, a suburban tract development of modest single-family houses. 800 Leverton Rd. Two attributes made my childhood home special: One was that the sprawling neighborhood of a few hundred homes was built all at once and filled with families, like ours, with kids, so I instantly had playmates by the dozen. The second advantage was that within walking distance were my elementary school and a rec center with a ball field; a community pool and a fantastic park that were built a few years later; and, best of all, dense woods on three sides of us and winding, long trails throughout them. We spent as much time outdoors as possible .  Nobody I knew stayed inside much unless they were sick or being punished. We found plenty of things to do.  We were among the first people to move in, so ther...
