Everyone has a vice. For some it might be smoking, the allure of the bottle, or porn. Mine is toys. So let me get this over with now…. “Hello, my name is Joe and I’m addicted to buying toys.” It started months after Willow was born when I brought home a bucket of large lego building blocks. I then progressed to GeoTrax train kits and architectural building blocks. I see no end to this addiction because I don’t have a problem. Mmmm….. sweet sweet denial.

I have a vivid memory of my grandfather, accordian in hand, leading 30+ people in Christmas carols during a brutal Buffalo snow storm. We marched from house to house singing as if our lives depended upon it and just about every neighbor invited us inside to warm up and have a drink. Can you even imagine inviting 30 wet snow caked people into your house and boozing them up? As the night went on, the crowd following us grew with each stop and the singing became a little more difficult to understand.
