Bosworth Lives Here ...

Q: What do you call three days of debating, fighting, pestering, and kvetching?
A: Father/son love.

Last weekend I had the rare joy of playing host to my Dad, who visited me in Iowa City on his way from Maine to California. Anyone who knows Sholom has a solid sense of what I mean when I say that the visit was eventful.

He came bearing gifts, including a sign he made for me out of a few pieces of driftwood he picked up on the beach in Maine. On this sign he wrote "Bosworth Lives Here." What tickled me most about the gesture was that he found a really original way to say, good work" or "I'm proud of you for trying something different" or maybe just "can I have a job?" Any way you slice it, he went out of his way to acknowledge a project that's been on my mind for the past few months. Ergo ... I share a simple photograph of the sign ...

In honor of the signpost, I've also created a Facebook group called "Bosworth Lives Here." I hope you'll all join ... I promise not to use the group in an attempt to mobilize a revolution. Click here to sign up for the "Bosworth Lives Here" Facebook group.
