I saw a post about how our children will remember the little rituals we create, the songs we play, the meals we cook, and how safe they felt being themselves. And it made me think about what a huge responsibility it is to create a home inside someone’s memory. What a privilege to have chosen this. I think that’s what parenting is. Understanding the weight of the responsibility and taking it on proudly.

My uncle died last night. Went in for surgery on his heart stint but he didn’t look good so my cousin said “pull the plug.” An hour later he sat up, signed himself out, went to the bar with his friends, got plastered then DIED. True Midwestern Irish Man died doing what he loved.
Loser behavior, even moreso that it was apparently for "content." inquirer.com/food/restaurant…

Would love to know who falls it the “To some” camp. Should probably check their hard drives.
To some, Chris Hansen of “To Catch a Predator” is an overzealous TV hack, thrilled to ruin the lives of people who never so much as touched a child.
To fans of TruBlu, his online crime-themed network, Hansen is a crusader against evil. wapo.st/4iMNWkR

I spent most of my life in the Northeast Italian-Irish motherland. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Being really into baseball feels closer to being into trains or military history than it does following other sports. That's not a judgement but an observation.

There is no clearer example of the gap between the Beach Boys and the Beatles than the fact that John Lennon was so evil that he inspired a peaceful man to kill him, while Dennis Wilson invited a serial killer into his home and he didn't kill any of them, not even bald Mike Love
