Remembering April Fools

Its April Fools Day and I have memories of being a kid and LOVING this day.  We would short-sheet my father;s bed.  We’d tell crazy jokes to one another and then scream “April Fools.”  Life back then was a cheap thrill.  We’d go through the whole day as kids just looking for things to up-end– to catch someone.  And at the end of the day my mother would serve breakfast for dinner. 

I’m getting both nervous and excited for “Perfectly Imperfect” to come out.  The book tour will be energizing and grueling.  It gets harder and harder to leave my kids for long periods of time but I’m also lucky to be on the road in today’s economy and world of publishing.

I think reading is the perfect cure for the economic blues.  Curl up and escape with a fiction or non-fiction book and step outside of yourself.

this week’s word is “saucy” – not as in hollandaise– but as in impudence.

    Saucy has always been one if my favorites. I have used it w my kids saying w a slight accent” well my aren’t we saucy”. Thought of you when my daughter Bridget & I caught Love Happens. A love if words is a sub strand of film. KS

    Pride not only pays more in general and on average to their fighters, you have people making obscene amounts of money (i.e. Ogawa vs Yoshida, Wanderlei vs Mark Hunt, Fedor vs Cro-Cop). Even with QJ making it to the finals in the 2003 GP and headlining Pride 28, he most likely made a damn-good pay check from that, something else I doubt the UFC would be willing to offer, let alone be able to pay QJ.

    I Am trying to find a copy of an article of yours I read in Good Housekeeping some time ago. It was titled ‘Dancing With My Dad.’ I want to give it to my granddaughter on her 18th birthday.
    Can you help me with this?

      Mary— Thank you so much for remembering this piece— I tried to find the jpeg and even the original of the article and I was unable to — not sure why— but I found my draft. I hope this will suffice and I’m very touched. My assistant Kathy, will email it to you directly. Your granddaughter is lucky to have you.

    Thank you soooo much, Lee. Our granddaughter is only 16, but I’m putting together a few items I know will trigger memories for her of special moments with her Dad. I know this article sent me down memory lane with my own Dad. Sweet memories are like a hug from the past. Thank you so much this one.
