Every time we get to telling old stories, my friend John always seems to remind me of my career aspirations from way back in the day when I was an eighth grader with a fondness for wearing black concert t-shirts. As a representative from the percussion section of the Mighty Mustang Marching Band of Capuchino [...]

On behalf of my father, John Picetti, my wife, Fehmeen, my daughter, Emma, and myself, I would like to thank everybody who has been there for us this past week. We appreciate every e-mail, phone call, text message, blog comment, Facebook wall post, hospital and home visit, prayer, well wish, and good vibe that we [...]

The universe works in strange and mysterious ways sometimes. All I wanted was to get a few more comments. Just a sign from my readers to let me know that you are out there and that you hear what it is that I am saying. I wasn’t asking for much, just a middle name and [...]

A humongous Team ALS Boy thank you and accompanying group hug goes out to Chris, Gayle, and Michael Wilhelm for their limitless compassion and thoughtfulness. For the second consecutive year, the Wilhelms have completed the seventy-two mile fundraising bike ride around Lake Tahoe on my behalf. I know I speak for Fehmeen and Emma when [...]

I will take with me the following memories of the 2009 East Bay Walk to Defeat ALS at the Berkeley Marina this past Sunday: The frigid wind-chilled air blowing off of the bay wasn’t nearly enough of a deterrent to prevent us from completing our appointed rounds once around the track. Too bad the course [...]

We may not have been the team with the most members in attendance this past Sunday and we may not have raised the most moolah for the cause but we were the Walk-wide leader in sporting the coolest t-shirts. And we had the cutest baby there, by far. The most majorist of props to my [...]
Anatomy of a Rejection

When I initially sat down to compose my “This I Believe” entry about a month and a half ago, I had no idea that it would turn out the way it did. I originally intended to include only the bit about how the removal of my two rotten teeth resulted in the eradication of a [...]
Mr P Says YOU Rock

I am a man of many routines. When I get dressed, I put on my left sock followed by my left shoe and then my right sock followed by my right shoe. When I eat at a Chili’s restaurant, I always order the chicken fajita pita with french fries. And on Sundays, between the months [...]
