The Day My Son Was Born . . .
I’ll never forget
The day my son was born.
He came out covered in white stuff.
His eye’s all squinty.
And man did this kid have a mop of hair.
He was finally here.
My Son.
The nurse toweled him off
And put him in my wife’s arms.
And I thought to my self.
This IS the best day of my life.
Joe had ten toes and ten fingers.
He weighed seven pounds.
Was 21 inches long.
And appeared to be the “perfect baby”
And he was crying.
He was struggling to catch his breath.
The nurse wanted to take him from Mom.
To measure him.
Check him out.
And do all the things a nurse does to a new born baby.
She placed Joe on a rolling cart.
He was all bundled up
He had a little brown Binni on his head.
And I walked along side with my son as she wheeled him across the room.
He was laying on his back.
And one of his little red arms was sticking out and up.
It looked like his fingers were calling to mine.
Joseph wanted me to hold his hand.
And I put my pinky finger into his little baby hand.
And he grabbed it.
His little tiny pink fingernails were as shiny as the inside of an oyster shell.
And about the size of this letter ( O ).
Joseph’s eyes were closed
And he was crying.
And he grabbed on to my pinky.
And I looked at him and said . .
“Hi. . .
I’m your dad.
And were going to be buddies!”
And Joe stopped crying.
He opened his eyes suddenly.
Let go of my baby finger.
And shot me the bird
And said . .
Screw You Dad!
And I awoke to realize this story was only a bad dream.
But for some Dads, this is the story of their life.
And that’s why if you’re a parent living this nightmare, you may want to hear this interview.
It’s with Dr. David Swanson.
The title is called Your Quick Reference Guide To Stress-Free Parenting
Go to
http://www.hardtofindseminars.com/Dr_David_Swanson_Interview.htm
Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, stressed-out?
Those words don’t need to describe parenting, but often times, they do.
Even the best parents give in when their children are whining, begging, throwing tantrums, or just plain making them feel guilty for saying “no.” But now you have help for whatever situation comes up.
And in this audio you’ll hear all about it from Dr. David Swanson, author of Help! My Kid Is Driving Me Crazy.
According to him, the trick is in knowing exactly what your buttons are – while having a quick-reference plan for what to do when those buttons get pushed.
And you’ll hear how to do that in this short audio.
You’ll Also Hear . . .
* How to make sense of your child’s behavior – these “natural reactions” don’t mean your child is “bad” or headed in the wrong direction
* How to recognize the usual “tactics” children use to get what they want and a few quick tips that will probably stop them in their tracks
* The two different ways we interact with our children – and “real-life” examples of how to make the most of each
* The 3 reasons parents yell at their kids – know your own triggers and you’ll be able to devise a better plan
* The single biggest trick divorced parents usually fall prey to and communication strategies that will make sure that doesn’t happen to you
The goal of good parenting is to have a healthy, happy family, but that doesn’t mean you have to be a pushover in the process.
Each situation and child may be different, but with this quick reference guide, you’ll be prepared for whatever comes up.

PS. My son Joseph did have some health challenges when we was born. But he’s a healthy and happy 11 year old boy now. And he’s most certainly still my little buddy.

Hopper’s Hands . . .
A story . . .
Did you know San Francisco’s most iconic landmark is also the world’s #1 suicide destination?
And did you know bridge construction workers volunteer to save jumpers from ending it all?
I was unaware of these heroes, at least until I learned about Hopper’s Hands.
Ken Hopper, 17 year Golden Gate Bridge iron worker noticed how waterfront joggers have a ritual of touching the chain link fence at the dead-end of the sidewalk next to Fort Point.
So he had the bridge’s sign painter make a sign with two hand prints on it.
And another sign with two dog paws, because one woman had her dog touch the fence.
Local runners know you’re supposed to run to Hopper’s Hands, high five the hands, and turn around to run back to the city.
The pair of hands at the base of the bridge, are meant to give hope to all who encounter them.
They are there to remind us of Hopper’s plea:
“Turn Around”
The story behind the hands has added new meaning to my trip to San Francisco.
My family did every imaginable tourist thing a family could do in this great city.
Like . . .
Ride the Hyde and Powell cable car.
Ate clam chowder on Fisherman’s Wharf.
Sampled food at the renowned Ferry Plaza Farmers Market
Enjoyed ice cream at Humphry Slocombe at 2790 Harrison St.
Marveled at the City skyline from Twin Peaks
And the rich forest at Muir Woods.
Ate Spare Ribs at the San Francisco landmark, Tommy’s Joint
Drove Lombard Street
Climbed stairs to Coit Tower
Lunch at “Fish” in Sausalito
Candle Stick Park
The streets of Height Ashbury
China Town
The World Famous Bush Man
Chocolate at Ghirardelli Square
The painted ladies atop Alamo Square
From Cow Palace
To Capitola
Santa Cruz
And back.
To the beauty of the Golden Gate Bridge.
And I’ll cherish all of these wonderful memories with my family.
But it’s the story of Hopper’s Hands that I’ll remember the most.
PS. Adversity is in most cases is only temporary.
You need a symbol to remember when times get so hard that you want to give up.
E-mail me and in the subject line type out in ALL CAPS . . .
HOPPER’S HANDS and I’ll send you a photo of the hands.
Print it out and put it somewhere where you’ll see it every day.
To remind you that you can always “Turn Around”.

Are You A Yellow Door Man . . .
In a recent interview with Ben Gay, he told me the story about . .
—— “The Yellow Door Man” ——
And within the story’s message, you’ll learn a simple way to maintain and build secret relationships.
And it’s a lesson Ben learned from his good friend, the late Ray Considine.
Here’s how Ben told it . . .
“Ray Considine sincerely made me believe for 40 years I was his best friend on earth.
And I’m sure I was one of many best friends on earth to Ray.
That’s just the way he was.
Ray built secret relationships with everybody.
And as a result he always got the best.
Ray would say “Somewhere . . there’s always a yellow door.”
I’ll never forget a story when he went to the World’s Fair in New York.
And there was the AT&T exhibit.
It was the most popular spot at the fair.
The lines were four hours long.
And Ray’s standing in line and he looks over and sees a yellow door on the side of the building.
Like a service entrance or something.
And Ray goes over and knocks on the yellow door.
And he begins a typical Ray Considine conversation with whoever opens the door.
And he and his wife are suddenly inside the exhibit.
They are not at the head of the line but in the actual exhibit.
Ray laughed when he told the story.
He told me to always look around because there’s always a yellow door.
And when you get there be prepared to make a friend.
PS. There was no line for Ray Considine.
You can listen to all three parts of this interview at the link below.
Go to
http://www.hardtofindseminars.com/Ben_Gay_III_Interview.htm
PS. White doors, brown doors all good for the average fellow.
You’ve got the secret of the yellow door man, Just be friendly, cool and mellow.
Long live the yellow door man.
