My dear friend and longtime colleague Ginny Kubitz Moyer has a wonderful new book out that’s perfect for Mother’s Day called Random MOMents of Grace.

She will proceed to have surgery on Halloween –I asked her doctor if she dresses up as Chewbacca for the surgery–to remove the other atypical cells they found. Those will be biopsied along with …

In anticipation of Father’s Day, I have been thinking of my dad, Michael F. Hayes, Sr this week. He’s 84 and he’s my dad because of a series of coincidences. He was born in Waterford, Ireland. His mother died when he was very young (about 7, if my memory serves) of the flu! Ireland was …

Today is my father’s 84th birthday. Suffice it to say that I want to be him when I grow up! Many more, Dad. Many more!

David Quo thinks that he was an ass at his kid’s soccer game. Why? Because his kid is far from becoming the next David Beckham, the kid doesn’t always listen to the coach and he thinks he did a good job when he kicks the ball into his own net. And all that annoys David–who’s …
