Humor & Satire

A biography of my father, born of immigrant parents and seeking a better life in America. Brought here as a boy in 1907 my grandfather begins the American journey in upstate NY where his parents begin to farm the fertile soil of freedom. From farming through the great depression, the loss of new born children and their land, they continued to fight for the American dream. My father comes from these roots, struggling against all odds through poverty, the Second World War, close encounters with death and climbing the ladder of success. He never loses his belief in himself or his country. He loses himself for a time, wandering the desert of hope and ambition but soon recovers to focus on what is important. It is not wealth or fame or stepping on others to accomplish your goals but rather through helping others, lifting other that his finds success. It is a story of love for his family, his nation and its' promise, trucking, but most of all for the woman who gave up all her privilege to become his wife.

Her heart broken, crushed and there is no one catching her freefall. Is that all that life holds for her? Pain, heartbreak, betrayal? Maybe she would have been better off if Dennis had never found her on the roadside and she had been allowed to throw herself into the ocean. Sometimes life is too much.It is then Kim's people showed up, out of nowhere, out of the ether, not quite all of them but enough so you would never know the difference. None could say, how exactly, they knew Kim had passed, or why they had come to this house in Newport, they just seemed to know. And none of them were bothered or curious about the happenstance, they accepted it was supposed to be this way.They came. They cooked. They drank. And they reminisced. And then they were gone.
