Ten years ago tonight, I sat at a computer keyboard at my Mom's house and spoke to this blog for the final 40 minutes of my thirties. The blog ended as I typed my final word and the clock struck twelve. I was 40 years old and my emotions were extremely reflective. Reading that post today for the first time since I wrote it was a big Jawdyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12047285999754865347noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205312.post-57485238667024780562016-08-21T20:24:00.000-04:002016-08-21T20:24:11.860-04:00Family Entertainment
Family dinners, vacations, bar and bat mitzvahs, weddings, childbirth.....all typical reasons for families to come together and spend quality time together.....for the typical family.
Our family? Wrestling.
All joking aside - the times that we find ourselves all in the same room these days are when the WWE is on TV. That's World Wrestling Entertainment.

"Make sure you savor every moment - because it goes by SO FAST....."
"You blink and they are grown up..."
That was yesterday........or was it?

I can think of four right away.
John Lennon
Ronald Reagan
Freddie Mercury
George Harrison
I believe I am adding a fifth name to that list today with the passing of Steve Jobs.

It's that time of the year again. The Heeb Holidays. Also known as Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, the highest of Jewish holidays and ones in which more food is consumed than all the other Jewish holidays in the year combined. Yom Kippur is supposed to be 24 hours of fasting but, when all is said and done, you consume more food after that first, fast-breaking morsel Jawdyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12047285999754865347noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5205312.post-56805345901867483382011-09-07T22:10:00.001-04:002011-09-07T22:10:09.413-04:00Back at It
The inspiration for Jawdy's Basement from the beginning was the kids. It was always meant to be somewhat of a diary of my life as a Dad and a backup for the forgetful computer that doubles as my brain. Well the last few days have been filled with potential memories that I would otherwise forget so it's inspired me to take to the keyboard once again.

Greetings everyone!!!
In approximately three weeks, it will be one year since I returned from Utah. I think it's about time I made the move permanent.
Two weeks ago, I removed the gorgeous red, white and blue Utah license plates from my car and replaced them with the spectacularly designed puke-yellow and black New Jersey plates.

I remember the day vividly. We had been sent home from the hospital several times for false alarms and that sucked because the hospital was in Camden (Lady of Lourdes) and we lived in Cherry Hill. Labor was awful and Deb didn't hold back her displeasure with the discomfort she was feeling.

This has been a work in progress now for six years and this is post number 210. I've gone through phases with the blog throughout the years and have experienced times of incredible inspiration and times of incredible non-inspiration.

What a sentence that is. Elijah is NINE YEARS OLD TODAY!! That means that I've been a daddy for nine years. At this point, it's all a blur but when I stop to think about it, I feel ancient. I shouldn't - I mean my dad has been a daddy for 41 and a half years. What does that make him?This morning when Elijah woke up, he was in a fantastic mood, as expected.
