Bill’s Tree of Gifts
Good news from the Academy. Wally got the shots he needed at the vet…and now he is recovered and a little more lucid after the meds wore off. So as we strolled the backyard he said, “Dad, I want you to know- I am sorry I ate your homework. But If you need to remember …. Read More
“Going to Chuck’s”
Let’s Go March-ing in. Just like the Saints. And my PC Friars of course. (In my world Ed Cooley eats free at the Academy any night he wants-Hey Murph, you gonna waive the fees if he’s looking for a tee time at Bradford?). I watch the basketball games and wonder if this is their March? …. Read More
Now I Get It
I was trying to figure out why Wally seemed confused, maybe even anxious or filled with fear, so as we snuggled on the chair I took the time to share a few thoughts with my guy. I left the windows open so that my neighbors could hear my bellowing voice. “Look. Wally, life ain’t perfect …. Read More

How Many More Steps?
It’s that time of year for lots of baseball games, sweaty school days, and plenty of optimism and faith coursing through the walls of the Academy. And yes we have to remember that Wally keeps us consistent and on point- can’t have him going without walks ya know. And I mention the walks because that …. Read More
Focus on Family
You know that I love to write and be right. Balancing the two can be treacherous when you have to interact with other humans, but the good news is I have a Real Boss who is really the one I look up to. So what? Well, that perspective keeps the peace. And peace is one …. Read More

Happy 50th!- “DO NOW”
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my wombmate. No, that was not a typo. She has known me longer than even the original Mr. and Mrs. Donadoni the OG’s. AKA the original generation. They were founded in 1970, and established an amazing union that brought about the Twins and baby Joey. But they still haven’t known me as …. Read More
