Happy BRAWK-DAY, Frankinator!!! I just finished your short story book. Oh, the memories you have immortalized for me and my ilk...

Thank you all. I will pass yer good wishes onto him on Thursday. This pic is from his kindergarten graduation. The thing I love about it is the scab he has on his upper lip and how it makes him look like a mini-Hitler (he and his cousins were fond of playing WWII games--'Ok...YOU be Mussolini...YOU be Hitler...YOU be Stalin...and can I be Hirohito today? PLEEEEEEEZE???')

That, and they used to scour the gutters of Brooklyn for half-smoked cigarettes. All at age 6?? Wow...my kid is so naive in comparison. He only occasionally blows away hookers just for shits and giggles while playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (but mostly just likes to use the flying car cheat or crash military hovercrafts.) The most disturbing aspect of his playing that game to me? His developing fondness for BAD 80's heavy metal. Brrrrrrrrr.....

And lorelei...the old man's second book is almost ready to send to the printers. Best prepare your ilk for another go round.
