Humorist Jerry Zezima has always had an empty head. Now that his two daughters have flown the coop, he and his wife have an empty nest. The girls aren’t completely out of the house, of course, because a lot of their stuff is still there. Written with warmth and hilarity, “The Empty Nest Chronicles” is […]
