DEDICATION AND THANK YOUS

Thanks to the Breckmans — to Dave, for friendship and many years of laughter and joy away from Staten Island; and to Andy — for showing me the yellow brick road and for pointing me in the direction of Oz.

Thanks to Dr. Linda Venis and everyone else (then and now) at UCLA Extension for giving me the opportunity to develop the class that became this book.

Thanks to my family (Mom, Dad, Aunt Ella, and my brother and sister, inlaws, outlaws, and all the rest) for putting up with my foolishness.

And special thanks to my Giglio Girls — my daughters, Sabrina and Ava, for laughing at my good jokes, not laughing at the bad ones, and for having such great senses of humor — an amazing feat considering one quarter of your ancestry. I fully expect a “Thank You” note from the two of you for earning a mention in the dedication.

To Juliet, for laughing with me, and for making me laugh and making me smile even when you’re yelling at me for something I stupidly said, did, or was thinking of doing. I’m very happy you married this fool.
