Father I Strive To Be

As a Father, I have often asked myself if I have the strength, courage, love, and stamina to be the Father that I want Gavin and Isabelle to have. I spend each day striving to be the person that I want them to see, rely on, look up to, and emulate. When I need inspiration, or a picture of what I hope to be, I can look to Dick Hoyt. I have yet to see a clearer example of unwavering support, unconditional love, Ironman strength, and depth of spirit in a human being.

Truly an amazing story.

Food Profile

I love Donna. You all know that. And, Donna is an amazing woman, who is good at a lot of things. However, cooking, is not one of her strongest talents. I have, from time to time, given her some grief publicly about her talents at preparing meals with nothing but a microwave. Isabelle was even trained at a young age to run into the kitchen at the sound of the microwave going off to get ready for dinner.

Most people thought I was just teasing Donna to get a laugh. The way most husbands do from time to time in front of their friends. Nope. I was telling a true tale. And now, I have the proof.

We have all heard about Racial Profiling, and Economic Profiling. Well, let me introduce you to Food Profiling, compliments of Wegmans Food Markets, and your trusty little Shoppers Club Card. Donna received the letter below in yesterdays mail. Upon reading it, I have never laughed so hard, or felt so much validation, in all my life. Please pay specific attention to the second sentence.


Yep. Wegmans Food Profile proves it. Not the Produce isle, or the Dairy isle, or the Italian Foods isle. My beautiful, gourmet bride, appreciates the Frozen and Refrigerated food isle. I am a very lucky man indeed!!
