Well, my little experiment with having my blog posts at Wordpress.com didn't work out. So, I'm back here, where my honey and LF prefer. Give me a few days to move the important posts over, and I'll be back in business.

Joseph Anthony Leone, graduated Cum Laude from John Jay College today. Joey managed to graduate in 4 years, maintain employment, a romantic relationship, several friendships, and the closest sibling relationship with his 2 brothers that probably exist out here these days. His relationship with his mother is special, and his personality, and demeanor are proof of their bond. Thankfully, he isn't the hothead his proud papa can be, and that is a real good thing. But he does understand me. So, we've done well, and we are SO PROUD OF YOU Joe, that simple words can't begin to express. It is the only way I know how to try without breaking down, so please know, that I Love You son. I am proud of you son. I can't wait to see the man you become. Because, with your will, and spirit, you can achieve all you set out to accomplish. You've come a long way as a kid from College Point, or as we like to call it West Malba. Go forth my son, always remember your family and your sense of what is right and just. Peace out !!!

Today, March 20, 2008 marks 25 years that I have been married to Rosanne Albanese. If anyone knows either of us, then you know that it's been a 'fun' time. We are good together. We have been through quite a lot together, and it started early for us. And I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. We've been up, we've been down. I've hurt her, and disappointed her a few times. She's never done that to me. I'm always sorry for those times. Yet, all this time, I've tried to keep our life happy and filled with laughter. I hope she continues to love me, cause I need that from her. And I hope it's for another 25 years. I adore you. I Love you. Forever !   Happy Anniversary

9.20.07 - My Uncle Nick died today. He was 72 years old. He battled lung cancer for over a year, and leaves us today. Uncle Nick & Aunt Diana were also my God-parents, and one could not ask for a better couple. Today is also my 50th birthday and I am grateful that I was able to see my uncle before he passed away. He remained strong and aware until the end, and recalled my Christening during our visit. Our family will comfort each other and support Aunt Di, my cousins Diane, Frank and Michael, and their families, my Mom and Dad, AJ & UD , who lost their older brother, and my dear Grandmother who will have very difficult moments now to bury her oldest son. God Bless you Uncle Nick, I will never forget you, and I Love You.

9.10.07 - As we approach the 6th anniversary of 9/11, please take some time to reflect upon the day, by watching this moving tribute.

4.3.07 - I'm gonna be doing some housekeeping for the next few weeks, so if you get a bad link, drop me a note on the feedback page, and i'll fix it. trying to reorg files out of the root directory on my server. They said I had over 14,000 files there. yikes.

3.20.07 - Today is my 24th wedding anniversary. Although that sounds like a long time, it does go by fast. Oh sure, we've had some bumps along the way, but I wouldn't want to have spent it with anyone else. To say I love my wife doesn't really say it all either. I love being with my wife Rosanne. She's my best friend as well. And, she's pretty cool to hang out with. We have 3 wonderful sons together, and they would not be the men they are, if it were not for her, and her mentoring of these 3 incredible individuals. Thank You Rosanne, for putting up with me. Thank You Rosanne for believing in me, Thank You Rosanne for believing in us, and Thank You Rosanne for being the mother of our children. Happy Anniversary. I Love You !!! xoxox
