It’s funny the way things work sometimes. On this date last year my father died. January 15th also happens to be my brother Ben’s birthday. He turns 34 today, which also happens to be the day that his wife, Erin, is going to deliver their second child. Talk about the life cycle. They couldn’t have planned it to work out like this. I’m so happy for my brother, and I’m thinking about my pop. So, here’s raising a toast to the birth of my niece, and while I’m at it, I’ll spill a little iced coffee on the floor for the old man.
