I am cruising towards middle age at a rather alarming rate, and spend a fair amount of time wondering how I got here so fast! My son is heading to college in the fall, and that is something I am not sure I am prepared for-seems like just yesterday that I dropped him off at school for his first day of kindergarten. Anywho.... I have raised Jordan on my own for his entire life (with plenty of help from family and friends), and we have had many interesting conversations/experiences in the past (almost) 18 years. One that comes to mind is when he was about 3, and was asking questions while I cleaned up after a dinner of takeout pizza. [Jordan started talking at 9 months, and hasn't stopped since]. He was jabbering away while I was washing the dishes. Our fish tank was in a nook in the kitchen, right down at his level. When I turned around, there was a slice of Vinny's pepperoni pizza floating in the tank. Jordan calmly explained that he thought the fish would like it, after all, it was his favorite food! And I told him....
So that's where the name came from. I have often thought through the years that I would write a book about our "escapades", I am starting with a blog to see how many stories I have in me. Will also probably pepper the blog with stories about my journey towards and through middle age, and other interesting tidbits along the way.
