Tailgating on Browns Sunday is a spiritual happening. This past Sunday was no exception.

There were angelic looking women and devilish men, all attending the church of the Browns. Everyone was doing their own ritual with a common theme: An equal love for the Browns and for the Party.

I kept my promise not to go to the pit in protest for the greedy pedestrian fee. And what a great decision that was: “Muni” was in rare form.

The highlights of the day at “Muni”:

#1: The slow motion game played to “Chariots of Fire” music. What a creative and entertaining skit! Hilarious! It was performed by the guys at the “only tailgate with a dance floor”, the DJs tailgate.

#2: The always great job done by the “Browns Bunch” bringing music and excitement to the party. They always treat me well. Loved braking it down to “Jessie’s Girl.” Thanks guys. You are becoming tailgating legends.

I invite you all to share your best moments at last weeks tailgate party and the Browns win.

See you all this Sunday at the “Muni”…..

My Parents Joan and Mike


I was born in Lorain, Ohio at a very young age (ha!) to my parents Mike and Joan.

My dad was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division during World War II with many combat jumps deep in enemy territory, including the D-Day Invasion. My mom was an English nurse during World War II. She was very beautiful and outgoing, and soon caught my dad’s eye at a town hall dance while he was on leave in London.

They fell in love in the turbulent days of World War II. The first product of that love was yours truly.

Born to humble beginnings, dad worked three jobs to keep the family fed with a roof over our heads. Our house was smaller than most apartments, but it didn’t matter because there were no rich people in sight to compare. Mom kept us clean and the house organized. The most important thing was that there was love in our home.

Me as a toddler


These humble beginnings, along with great family and friends was the start of a very interesting and exciting life. Please join me in about a week for the next chapter of “The Early Years” to find out about my first known interaction with a woman at about the age of 7.
