I Got My Daughter Back, But If Only For One Night!

My daughter lives on her iPhone. 24/7. If not on a call, then typing away in a text frenzy. She's always caught up in her own little iPhone virtual world.

BUT not last night! She's behind on her payments to AT&T. Her phone was turned off!

It was one of the best nights ever. She was back, if ever so briefly. We talked more than usual. There were no constant buzzing sounds from her iPhone vibrating from incoming calls and text messages. There were no arguments with any of her "guy" friends. It was calm and peaceful last night.

I loved it, if only for one night!

2009 Academy Awards

As I sit here watching the Academy Awards, I'm constantly scanning the audience for a glimpse of my brother Greg, who is in the audience somewhere. I have an overwhelming sense of pride in his accomplishments and I have no doubt one day he may be on the stage instead of just in the audience!
