THE MAYOR JUST SHOOK MY SON'S HAND
In a strange set of circumstances, we found ourselves at a party with the Mayor of Quincy tonight where I introduced him to a group of concerned neighborhood residents. Mayor Koch is a very nice man and did the next best thing to kissing babies, he shook Conor’s little hand. Conor also got to meet Massachusetts Representative Bruce Ayers and his lovely wife, Maureen. In a failed attempt, Maureen tried to kidnap Conor and he was reunited with his parents in about 2 seconds flat.

MY FOUR-MONTH OLD STILL HAS BLUE EYES
Every day for 4 months now I've awaken to see my son with beautiful blue eyes. But brown eyes run in my family and brown is a dominant eye color. And it's well known that a baby's eyes can change colors up until 6 months old whereby the dye is cast. So the big question is, will Conor's eyes turn blue in the next 6 weeks?
MY SON JUST APPLIED FOR HIS PASSPORT TODAY
In front of me. A woman and her two children were doing the same. The boy was about 8 and the little girl was around 3. The mom was trying to get her son to hold the 3-year old's hand and the boy was too busy playing his portable video game. She kept getting more angry with him and insistent that he hold her hand. He looked at her and said defiantly, " That's not going to happen." she looked at him and asked what he said and he confidently repeated it. She looked back in her bag and went back to looking for something that she never seemed to find. I was so stressed and irritated at this behavior that I thought I was going to come out of my skin. I kept thinking really loud, just whack that boy and let him know you mean what you say. But she never did. And I looked at my wife and I looked at my 4 month old and clearly understood I am not capable of accepting this kind of behavior from my child. I also realize that the only way I could think to correct that child was to whack him; something I hope I never feel the need to do to my own child. Which is why it’s another good reason for me to start a dads group here in Quincy so that fathers can get together and talk about how to be better dads.
