Help Autism Awareness With an Email for Free

  I wrote yesterday about a possible break through in the area of Autism, reported on Web MD, involving the use of prenatal vitamins. The internet truly is a mysterious place, because this morning I received an email with the easiest way of helping to raise money for Autism research.
  All you need to do is go to this Autism website, sign up with your email, and agree to receive a daily email, and money will be donated to Autism research. Why wouldn't you do this?

Autism Breakthrough

  This blog is supposed to be about all the great things in New Jersey, but sometimes something catches my attention outside that realm which I feel needs to be shared. Today it is a possible breakthrough concerning Autism.
  A story on WebMD is reporting the very real possibility of prenatal vitamins being able to lower the risk of  having a child without Autism. You probably know the rates of Autism has increased significantly in recent years. We have heard of many possible causes, but this is the first time we are hearing some good news.
  There was way too much information in the article than I could ever include here, so I provided a link below to check it out for yourself.

Snooki Arrested in Italy

  We all knew it was only a matter of time, but the first castmember of MTV's Jersey Shore was arrested in Italy, and surprise, it was Snooki.
  The same Snooki who was arrested for drunk and disorderly on the beach in Seaside Heights, was arrested in Italy for crashing into the back of a police car.
  The most amazing aspect of all this may just be that alcohol was not involved.

Memorial Day Weekend Sunday With My Son

  Like father, like son. No day of the year might that be more true for my son and myself han the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Why that day you ask? Because there is no other day of the year when there is more big-time auto racing on television than this day. And I am proud to say I have created a certified racing nut in my son.
  Our Sunday schedule will be something along these lines. Watching the Formula 1 race from Monaco at 7AM until just a little past 10AM. During that time we will have our breakfast together. At the conclusion of the Formula one race, it's shower time and then out the door.
  Before you think I'm the kind of father who would keep his son inside all day on a bright, sunny day like this, next on our schedule is The Camden Children's Garden. By living on the Camden Waterfront we are literally across the street from the Children's Garden, along with the Adventure Aquarium, and the Battleship New Jersey.
  The Children's Garden has dancing water, great on a day like this, a train to ride on, a carousel, mazes, and a view of the penguin area of the aquarium. We did all that and managed to see the feeding of the penguins, all by noon.
  Next on the schedule is more racing. We settle into lunch as we prepare for the start of the Indy 500. This will take up most of our afternoon, and my son will probably take a nap during the race. Hopefully he will awake in time to see the finish of the Indy 500, and the start of the Nascar Coca-Cola 600.
  Sometime during this time we will do some dinner, and the reading of some books. With our day ending well into the night, we will both go to bed happy.
  LIKE FATHER LIKE SON!

My Son's Picture Makes It Onto a Yahoo Article

  Some of you may know that I write for several different internet sites. One of those is Yahoo. I was recently reviewing some articles I had previously written and came across this article with my son's picture. To be honest with you I had practically forgotten I had written it and that it had his photo. Needless to say, this is again my favorite article.
  They grow up so fast may be the truest words ever spoken. He will be four in a few months and has matured incredibly. He is super independent and even told me today he is going to take a plane to Philadelphia by himself. Being we only live across the Delaware River from Philly, I would probably be concerned if he said he was going to swim there.
  Pretty cool to think his image will be on the internet forever. Hope I get to show him it when he becomes a teenager. He will hate that.

Martell's Tiki Bar Deal and More

  Memorial Day weekend is here, and it looks like we are going to have great weather here in New Jersey. The choices of things to do are really unlimited, but should certainly include some outdoor time.
  One of the things us Jerseyans love to do once Memorial Day weekend arrives is head to the Jersey Shore. Whether it is the beaches of Sandy Hook, with it's view of New York City, or the free, wide beaches of Wildwood, or anywhere between, there is surely a beach for everyone in our state.
  My personal favorite is Point Pleasant. The beaches are clean, there are great rides and games for my son, and of course the great food. If you are anything like me then you need to check out this Martell's Tiki Bar Deal that I had emailed to me. You can purchase a $50 certificate for use there for only $25. When do you ever get a 50% discount on a meal, especially one at Martell's?
  Another offer I had emailed to me which I thought was very intriguing was a $40 certificate for only$20 good towards a whale and dolphin watching trip off of Cape May. The offer, along with many more, is available at the KGB deals.
  I hope you will be able to take advantage of these specials, if not this weekend, then in the near future. Meanwhile get out this weekend and enjoy this great state of JERZEEBABY!
