Unless you’ve followed me on Facebook or IG, you may not know that we made a move from the coastal country of Virginia to Music City, bought a house and settled in Nashville, Tennessee – less than a year before COVID hit. Maybe it’s just that I’ve had more years in a complicated city like Los Angeles than that of the south, but after six moves between four states and two coasts over ten years – we’re in a place that finally feels like home. I was already in bed, but our Emergency Weather Radio (daughter and I are weather geeks) started blaring and at 12:30am, I began getting texts and calls from colleagues that lived in East Nashville (just west of us in the storm’s path) as the twister ripped through their neighborhoods, barely missing our radio tower. I got a call from an executive at United Stations in New York City who wanted to create a weekly syndicated country music morning show and was curious if I’d be interested in writing it, as well as directing talent through the scripts.

(For times when tech is keeping them up, the Family Link app from Google has a sleep setting where the device “goes to sleep” during set times so that even if Ava gets a hold of her device, she ca Family Link also allows you to set screen time limits so that their limits are “enforced” by the device, not me or my wife! * Family Link also allows you to set screen time limits so that their limits are “enforced” by the device, not me or my wife!

Ten years ago, my kids weren’t old enough to read (heck, most weren’t born) or follow anything more than the colorful pictures, however, much like a Guinness World Records title – that’s all changed over a short amount of time. With Ava, Charlie and Mason achieving different levels of reading proficiency this year, they’re fully ensconced in every nook and cranny of this book. Guinness World Records published their first book in 1955 and by 1976 (the year I was born), had a museum located within the Empire State Building in New York City. With 11 chapters, 3,500 NEW and updated records, never-seen-before photographs AND new chapters focused on Robots and Tech/Engineering, #GWR2020 serves as an educational, learning and reading tool!
