Beyond the religious significance of Easter there is a more commercial importance, that of receiving candy. There is an ancient proverb that states "Candy found..."

Like a confection machine gone berserk, the weekend is here again to pull the Sdyor family in every direction. Maybe it's a math error...

Maybe our fear of Pit Bulls is our natural fear of things we don't understand...

No other activity in the history of activities is more American, more down to earth and more accessible...

To qualify for sainthood you need to have performed a documented miracle after your death, except in the case of martyrs. Since my wife Ann is still among the living...

Most children are impetuous. They jump without looking at what's below them, throw balls into crowded areas because that's where the open man was, and generally act like children. So when a plan is being developed it sort of stands out...

At some point your children need to learn how to use small appliances...

At home we push hard for things like civility, manners and general cleanliness. The things that they wouldn't do themselves unless pushed, like bathe, say please, and eat well...

For those of you who thought that packing up and moving an "adult" child to school would be difficult need to consider this. They will have to be moved home in nine months...

The Sdyor children attend a charter school. This means school uniforms, high academic standards, and strict school behavior including a color card change disciplinary system. James (Age 9) loves school and wouldn't miss a day. Of course once he gets there he may not be towing the company line...

When Olympia (Age 13) came home wanting to play violin through the school I was thrilled. After two years in which I have never heard her practice, I began to wonder. This year when I received last minute phone calls that she didn't need to be picked up after lessons I began to suspect. This mornings argument pretty much left no doubt. A musical instrument is not for everyone...

OK, so maybe it's not the plague but the Norovirus is running through the Sdyor house and it is not fun. You may have heard it called the Norwalk virus but my personal favorite is the Snow Mountain virus. Which if you live in New England is ironic because it's now February and it's the only snow we've had this year...

As parents we must have done something right. None of our children seem to have any problems with how their bodies look. Body image issues are a large component of teenage angst and can cause depression, anxiety or worse yet make you believe Joan Rivers and the women from Mob Wives look better with plastic surgery. Of course I could be giving us too much credit as parents...

Laser focus. Total Commitment. On Task. These are buzz words of the business warrior. The person you want with you on your project and not competing against you for the same resources. In the Sdyor house that warrior is named James (Age 9). If he's in agreement with your agenda, and he rarely is...

Remember your first few Christmas after having a child. You wanted so badly to give them the best gifts you could. You scrimped and saved and looked at sale inserts out of the paper. Wrapped it up nice with bows and ribbons. You waited with pained anticipation for weeks until finally Christmas morning came....
