World’s Greatest Award

In between Washington and New York City on my awards tour of America, I dropped by my hometown of Bayonne, New Jersey to visit my family.

While I was there, my sisters Darleen and Janet presented me with the WORLD’S GREATEST AWARD.  They said they did not want to be the only stop I made in October where I did not get an award.

It’s a wonderful award, and I was delighted.   The trophy was accompanied by a Jersey bar pie (best pizza in the world) and some Judicke’s sprinkle donuts (best sprinkle donuts in the world).

I also got to check in with the youngest members of my family… my great nephew Brady and my great nieces Arielle and Emma.   Yes, my nephews Jeff and Sean have been busy.   I am a great uncle three times over.   Grunkle George.

Current Mood: amused amused

My Great Nephew

Brady is eighteen months old. Son of my nephew Jeff. Which makes him my great nephew, I guess. And me a great uncle. A grunkle.

On my trip east a couple of weeks ago I visited Bayonne and saw him for the first time since he was a babe in arms. What a difference a year makes.

He’s a true Jersey Boy. He’s already learned that pizza — New York style thin crust, please, accept no substitutes — is the one true food.

Don’t be fooled by the name. Brady is an old family name, nothing to do with that guy on the Pats. He’ll be a Giants fan, I expect, like his dad Jeff.

Roots

I am not the man you think I am.

I am not the man I thought I was.

Day before last, I spent the afternoon with Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr, taping a segment for his television series, FINDING YOUR ROOTS.

I thought I had a pretty good idea of my roots, but Dr. Gates and his crack team of DNA researchers had some revelations in store for me… and one huge shock.

I could tell you more, but then I’d have to kill you.

You’ll just need to wait until my episode is broadcast, next season. Watch this space. I will let you know when the segment is scheduled.

Current Mood: surprised surprised
