OH BROTHER! - ALL POINTS BULLETIN

-

Do you have an event coming up? I want to be there.

Do you have a need for a ten-time published author to speak for you? At your office? School? Lions Club Meeting? Charitable dinner?

I want to be there. I won't eat, either so it won't cost much. I've won awards for writing and speaking. I will make you laugh.

I promise.

Come January, I want to be all over speaking about, laughing with you, and selling you the story of the greatest guy I've ever known.

Currently, I am working with my brilliant publisher Sterlinghouse in an effort to promote the story Oh Brother! The Life and Times of Jeff Fazzolari.

Now I've written books that were unbelievably important to me and those that they benefited, but this one is more than special.

This is a book that must be read, ingested and thought about for the rest of your life.

You think I'm kidding?

It's a story of love, grief, laughter, and undeniable dedication to living life the right way.

I have had very few people in my life who I've truly looked up to just for the simple way that they went about their business.

My brother, Jeff, was my hero - and his life was so well lived that you can't miss it.

So plan an event. Hell, plan it around this - and I will be there.

I have love and I will travel for the chance to tell this story.

The book can be ordered through comments to the blog, through Amazon.com, through Sterlinghousepublisher.com., on my Facebook account, or just by opening up your window and yelling that you need it.

I personally guarantee your satisfaction.

I had the greatest character in the world's story to tell.

Suits

-
Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

My Buddy, Dave

-
Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
