Well, I guess by now you have heard either through Facebook,
TV or the press, that The Big Bang Theory has won another People’s Choice
Award. Unless you live under a rock and still know me, you know #1 Son Anthony
is one of the many talented writers and producers on that show.
To me the award is a great thing, but what is greater is
that he is working on that show. Just think about it, here is a kid who always
gets adopted for one reason or another by others. When I was working at
Publishers Clearing House, I got him to work for the company. The day before he
started I was known as Joe Del Bloggolo, senior art supervisor, the day after,
as Anthony’s father. There’s a lesson in that boys and girls, stay away from
that kid. Even my old boss, Tom Owens, who looks like St. Paul, started calling
him: “Our son.”

Being I was sick the night of the awards, I fell asleep
early and when I woke up it was the next morning. Coming downstairs I am
greeted by TLW (The Little Woman) who says: while holding the remote control:
“Are you ready?” She clicks on the remote and on comes the people’s Choice
Awards and: “The People’s Choice Award for best comedy goes to… Joe Del
Bloggolo’s son.”
Well, maybe it didn’t go quite like that but close.
Accepting on my behalf was #1 Son: all spiffy and dressed up just like that
time in Nursery School, when the whole class did a hop like a bunny dance.
It is very hard for me to keep this quiet, the fact that he
works on the Big Bang Theory, so please forgive me if I get too obnoxious,
rather than my standard obnoxicity. (I made up that last word)

Obnoxicity? Love it, adding that new word to my "dictionary of life". But anyway, congratulations to all and especially #1 son.......I know you're all so proud!!!
Thanks, Dad! I told the Director of the People's Choice Awards to give out the Best Comedy award earlier in the night because my parents needed to go to sleep -- but he wouldn't accommodate me. Thanks for waking up for it. And thanks for always supporting my dreams over the years.
Love,
#1 Son
P.S. I'm just a writer, not one of the Producers. Hopefully I will be someday!
You have every right to be proud and to brag about Anthony's success (especially since you had a lot to do with it). Hell, I brag about him and I don't even know him. I can't imagine how I would be if he were MY son. It's just all SO EXCITING!!!
