This book is dedicated to four people:

First to my dad, Arthur Greshes, who passed away two years ago. Thanks Dad, for teaching me how to be a great father. I just wish you could have lasted one more year to see the Giants win the World Series. You would have loved it.

Next, to my son Michael and daughter Emily, who have been real good sports about letting me reveal so many of their secrets within these pages. And no, you guys are not getting a cut of the royalties.

And last, but of course, not least, to my wife, Linda, the better part of me. I just don't make any sense without you.
