When Is It Okay To Kiss Your Receptionist And Bring Her Home After Work?

Father and Daughters


That's what we call a catch phrase in the business.  My daughters continue to put me through life changes.  First Jackie is going off to college, and this week Samantha worked with me at the office.  It really is a remarkable feeling when you see your kids start to take their places in the world.  I still get torn between treating them as my little girls, and then treating them like little women, but I figure by the time Joelle is 30 (17 more years) I should have this letting go thing down pat.

I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you

Daddy Are We There Yet?

Daddy Are We There Yet?


What's your rush? We just got started.
Just relax, we will be there before you know it.
Close you eyes, take a nap and let Daddy drive.
Okay, I'll close my eyes, take a nap and let you drive.
I can't relax, are we really there already?
I can't believe we got here so fast, it feels like we just left.
Yes honey, I guess we are here.
No, I'm not really sad, just proud.

This Wish Is For You!

The Wish - Joseph Gillette

I just wanted to express my thanks to everyone who attended "Joe's Birthday Bash To Bash Cancer".  As you know, all money raised at the "Bash" is being donated in support of my Aunt Lorraine.  I spoke with her today and she was truly touched by all the postcards I forwarded to her from all of you.  The emotions  in her voice made all the efforts for the "Bash" worthwhile.  I wish I could have shared that moment with all of you. In any event, thanks again for your generosity and as you can see from the photo above.....my best wish is for you.
