But Seriously Folks........

I'm taking a break from the usual stuff I post to tell you about my boys. That's Greg on the left and Joe on the right. In parent-eese they are 208 and 258 months old respectively. They'll both be seniors next year; Greg at Dearborn HS and Joe at Wayne State U. They're both terrific kids and make me proud. This picture was taken at the Warp Tour Concert at Comerica Park in Detroit. We were celebrating and there is a lot to celebrate.

You see, Joe has been working hard the last few months, preparing for the MCAT for medical college. The test date just happened to fall on the same day  as the Warp Tour, which happens to be Greg's favorite annual event; we went last year and my ears are still ringing. Greg had the idea to "treat" Joe by getting him a ticket to the event. That way Joe could join him after the test and they could celebrate together.

I have reason to celebrate too. Joe's successful college career; him taking the MCAT; Greg sharing his passions with Joe and doing something nice for his big brother. Most of all I celebrate knowing they include each other in the celebrations of their lives.

You should be proud, dad. They are a couple of fine young men. Uh, is that a tear in your eye?

What a sweet glimpse into your heart, Dennison. It only takes a parent's pride to bring it out!
