When the How to Be Dad book came out years ago, my sister-in-law called to say that I'd better sit down and she would be right over. I wasn't, she said, going to believe my eyes when I saw the latest issue of the tabloid, The Star.

Anyway, long story short, Jack Nicholson had latched onto my book as a parenting guide and decided to go public with it. In a couple of interviews he praised my modest little book and described me as his "parenting guru". Very flattering.

I must admit that since then I've always had a sweet spot in my heart for him. Thank you, Jack.
