I don’t need to hear about all the despicable folk. They’re loud and easy to see through. Instead, show me the good people quietly going about their business. They are ones I will follow. They are the magic in the world.

Took both my wife and mother to dinner tonight and we all ordered martinis. As it turns out, only one of us learned to imbibe with the likes of Sinatra, Bogie and Bacall. Well played, Mom. Well played.

Today is my mother’s 89th birthday and she remains as sparkling as she is here (modeling luggage?) on her 21st. Mom’s always been great at looking past differences to find and embrace her common humanity with people. That’s her joy secret. Happy Birthday Mom! #ShirleyJones

Went to the 6th grade open house and saw a sign up sheet for Room Parent. No one was signing up, so I did. Suddenly, all of the other parents, starting with my wife, were like “You??” And just like that I’m the star of a Jack Black movie.

Question for my Twitter pals: I’ve hired many smart, kind, talented and accomplished people over the years. I have no idea where any of them went to college. Not a one. I never asked and never cared. Am I an anomaly? Asking as a dad with a kid killing himself to get into college.

Wife’s out of town and I’m solo babysitting the five yr old son of a friend tonight. Our convo 2 seconds ago: “So, how about I make us a pizza then we watch a movie?” The kid looks at me hard for what seems like an eternity, then: “You’re the best, dude.” Life is good.

When I was a kid, Cary Grant came over to the house to meet with my mother about some project. When she was out of the room, he looked at me and whispered ""I'm not really Cary Grant." This was a very important lesson.

I don’t like it when parents brag about their kids. Our son hit two home runs in his second college baseball game yesterday, but would I brag? No. No way. When he hits three in a game, then maybe I might say something. Maybe. But only hitting two? Nah. Not even worth a mention.

The older I get the more I'm convinced "maturity" is simply the act of becoming who we really are. Letting go of society's idea of who we should be (which tends to conform us along the way), and instead owning who we were upon arrival. And when that happens... Voila! Freedom!!!
