Recently, I have had the pleasure of hanging out with my Godson, Matty Pai, who’s a really cool guy. He’s also a brilliant and delightful two-year-old boy, who likes to play. Since my kids are all grown up, there are no toys in the house. This got me to thinking. What could I find for him to play with?

Since I think that expensive toys and electronic gadgets like the ones adults play with are not the best toys to give little kids, not to mention that we have limited budgets, here are suggestions narrowing down the list.

This brings the USA clearly into the territory, where we may have never been, is the president bent on destroying #American democracy?

The weekend began on Friday when my two year old Godson, Matty and his parents Dena and Victor brought me a mango delicacy prepared for UB. Sunday was a very special Father's Day. So special that it may be one to always remember fondly and for a few reasons.

My wife Yirong and I were prepared to spend a quiet day at home since we have been traveling recently, it was a welcome opportunity to not only relax but to save some bucks since my daughters live on the west coast and I am in NYC and those airfares quickly add up.
