My parents came to Brooklyn last night (New York) to visit their favorite son and we had a good night on the town. Â We ended up dining somewhere on Smith Street in Brooklyn and the food was less than average. Â Needless to say, today was uphill, in a good way.

WeÂ trekkedÂ to WestPoint, New York (about an hours drive north) to visit the place where my father was born and where his father became the first civilian to coach the WestPoint Cadet Football Squad at the United States Military Academy. A Lt. Col. showed us around the Post (called a base by the AirForce and Navy).

We were able to see where the coaches, the academia and the Super Intendant live. We also revisited some of my dad’s childhood memories. Monday the new “plebes” come into the Post and start their six-week training before the Fall school semester begins.Â
