Here's a link to this great (print and online) article that the Reading Eagle recently published about our story Maddie: Teaching Tolerance with a Smile: Book chronicles Wyomissing teen's journey since being diagnosed with alopecia

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thank you to Stacey Stauffer (Fox 29 Philadelphia). She interviewed Madison Woytovich, her parents (Jeff and Betsy Woytovich) and me about the latest chapter in this inspiring story. Here's a video link to Stacey's wonderful feature.

A recent post ...

Interest surged in my Twitter account just a few hours after I had written a feature about Michael Muhney of CBS' 'The Young and The Restless'. 

More than just a talented, hard-working thespian, Muhney is also a family man who chooses to be involved in important charity work. One of those causes is: The LA Cancer Challenge, which benefits pancreatic cancer research. Click on that link when you get a chance. It's worthwhile.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every social media connection has helped my online features to generate millions (yes, millions) of internet hits since Labor Day weekend 2010. I remain deeply grateful to everyone for the attention that's been given to these sports, news and interview articles. I never expected this embrace, but am genuinely humbled by it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amazon.com is the number 1 online publishing platform in the world. That's why I used it to publish my first ebook: 

This mini-tome is a collection of stories and poems for readers who don't take themselves too seriously. I hope that you enjoy it and am always interested in your feedback.

Baseball trades and free agents


Baseball trades and free agents

Trading cards with my friends created a love of analytics before that was cool. Engaging in that clean activity also enabled capitalistic fun to be done. Plus, it allowed us to annually cook on our own 'hot stove' during MLB's real trade and free agent season.

Exchanging Ron Reed for Gene Garber, Ron Guidry for Reggie Jackson, or whatever other pair (or more than that) made many pre-teens feel like we young GM's. Those long-gone days remain among my most cherished memories. 

This Yahoo feature that I wrote a few years ago remains one of my all-time greatest hits (as in internet hits). Click for a trip back in time: When Baseball Cards Were King

Book-signings: Connecting with positive people


Book-signings: Connecting with positive people

The Children's Alopecia Project (CAP) published my illustrated children's book Maddie: Teaching Tolerance with a Smile in August, 2013. That very sharp non-profit organization is also handling book distribution and marketing efforts. 

My association with this worldwide group has been very pleasing, to say the least. Connecting with so many nice people at the various events that the group has sponsored, or has been a part of, always helps me to learn positive lessons.

Meeting readers, or anyone who is aware of CAP, gives me a deeper appreciation for all the good people who live in our world.

Veterans Day: Plain and Simple



Veterans Day 

We can write a lot if we need to. Not today, because it's just this simple:

Thank you to people like my dad, who is a Navy veteran, for keeping us (and many others around the world) FREE

Thank you to people like my mom who waited (wait) patiently for their loved ones to come home while they were serving as well. 

God bless you.
