Of course I was thinking of my Paulie on that day. I miss him always. He was one of the smartest people I ever had the pleasure of knowing. One of his favorite things was to chat online with me and my daughters when they were doing their homework. He used to make fun of their assignments (name 5 places that start with the letter Z), but he loved to do math with them.

He loved politics, and I can't imagine what he would have thought of the world today.

God bless you, Paulie. You made my life richer simply by being you.
