The blogging world is getting better all the time. More people are writing than ever before, and it gets to be fun to hear another point of view.
Life is full of coincidences, for instance, I once wrote a blog about my old elementary school back in Brooklyn, and someone surfing the web found it. He lived around the corner from me in those Brooklyn days, then I find out Jim’s birthday is the day before mine, he writes a blog or two http://jpantaleno.blogspot.com/ and http://spaldeendreams.blogspot.com/ one is filled with some great observation and one is about dear old Brooklyn in the 50’s.
So last year, we decided to get together as Brooklyn boys, bloggers and birthday boys and celebrate our meeting. I took TLW (The Little Woman) and he took the lovely Jasmine, his wife.
Well one blog led to another and now we have the The Whinery http://lbeeler.blogspot.com/ a very funny and sarcastic observation and point of view about life. This blog is written by his only daughter, who I recently had the pleasure of meeting for the first time. Laura and her husband Malcolm joined us for dinner at the Pompei in West Hempstead. Accompanying them was their beautiful little girl: Ava. Ava is 7-years of age, and very bright, funny like her mom, and just a good kid.
Ava was born with an extremely rare (as in one in 250,000 live births) craniofacial syndrome. (See Ellen’s Way, Ava’s Story for details.) http://ellendelbloggolo.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2010-05-31T00%3A00%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=7
Well, Miss Ava stole the show, the dinner was not just a pleasant repast with some beautiful people, it was a chance to meet a little hero, who has more moxie, more guts and more beauty then most of us.
Little Ava’s story will have a happy ending. She is too cute, smart and wonderful not to. Pray for little Ava, that she be able to withstand all the operations and testing she is put through. Pray her parents have the strength and will power to help little Ava ride out this storm. Looking for a worthy cause? http://www.ccakids.com/

Thanks Joe for a lovely blog. We enjoyed the day very much and hope to keep this tradition going for many years, God willing. Ava is a remarkable kid who keeps smiling through it all. So glad you had the chance to meet her and her parents. We're so proud of them all.
Thank for the kind words about our family, especially Miss Ava. I too hope we can keep up this tradition...and Ava definitely does have moxie! Plenty of it!
