Hi, I’m John.

That’s me, at 75, dancing into my wedding in a top hat and tails to Stevie Wonders’ For Once in My Life.
It was very non-traditional, a ton of fun, at pretty much sets the tone for these stories: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up
I grew up as one of eleven kids, which meant chaos wasn’t an occasional event. It was the background noise of everyday life.
Between Catholic school, family road trips, questionable pets, holidays that rarely went according to plan, and eleven kids under one roof, I learned something pretty early.
You really can’t make this stuff up
But apparently my family didn’t have a monopoly on crazy.
I’ve spent more than 50 years in business, married a few times, traveled around the world, gotten older-although I’m still resisting the idea of growing up-and accumulated a lot more stories along the way.
At 75, I’ve finally figured out that life is much more interesting when we can laugh at ourselves-and occasionally at everything around us.
Thanks for stopping by — grab a coffee, pick a story, and enjoy the chaos.
