Epcot

Well, it’s the first post of 2007! I thought I’d start it off with a great story about my trip to that most magical place on earth. The idea started as a seedling, and then grew like a brush fire. After all was said and done, I had, under my belt in just 2 days, a stomach virus, 9 miles of running, 4 cigars and about 2000 miles of air travel to show for it. (more…)

I think his sentence was 2 minutes in his Spiderman chair, and the chair happened to be facing the staircase. He sat down and faced the stairs with his little hands on the armrests, silent. (more…)

Something pretty special happened last night. My wife and I were watching the companion episode of “Band of Brothers,” entitled “We Stand Alone Together.” Well, my grandfather is featured quite a bit in that episode, and my daughter, who just turned 2, has never seen it. Anyway, she was playing with her toys in the vicinity when she must have recognized my grandfather’s voice emanating from the television. She wandered over, pointed to the screen and said “grandpop” in her little voice. She watched for a moment, and then moved on. That she recognized him onscreen, and especially in that context reminded me of how proud I am of the entire Guarnere family, and I was also reminded that had it not been for my grandfather, I wouldn’t be here today.

On this Veteran’s Day, Thanks, “Grandpop,” for all your sacrifice, and to all the vets who helped secure our freedoms.
