Happy Birthday to my Dad -- excerpt below from my book #TheBriefing. 

Sailing was in my father’s blood, too. Mike Spicer had grown up in Newport, Rhode Island. It’s a beautiful coastal town that boasts some of the most talented sailors and breathtaking yachts in the world. It’s also known for its famous estates and ornate mansions. Although my dad was raised in Newport, he grew up a world away from the lavish parties at the New York Yacht Club and other magnificent venues on the island. The Spicers were part of Rhode Island’s working class, like most residents of the state. But my dad knew how to find honest work—and he knew how to find the joys in life that everyone, regardless of wealth or social status, can obtain. Sailing became a bedrock in our relationship. Out on the open water is where I learned how to work, how to play, and how to have quality time with my dad.
