Santa’s Spit

Listening to the kids rehearse the Polar Express movie today, one would thing that the Hot Chocolate
song has this line:

“Santa spit it in the pot”

when the lyrics are actually:

“Keep it cookin in the pot”

Well, it’s hard not to stop laughing at this one.

First Snow, 2007

Here are Peter and Lex enjoying the first real snow this season. We had a sprinkling earlier this week, but it didn’t amount to much. Today, we had about an inch to an inch and a half to work with.

Minh Xuan

I wasn’t going to post these pictures, but since Henry and Mike set up an entire website for her, I think it’s OK. In fact, they have their own set of pictures from this event. They brought Minh back to Boston for a visit this summer. My boys had a blast visiting up in Milford NH that day. It was just a couple weeks earlier that we had been to the same place for my wife’s aunt’s 50th wedding anniversary.

Bell In Hand, 20 years at 2007

This year was the first time I heard about this crazy tradition. Jake and the crew seem to have found every excuse in the book to hang out with old college friends and share a drink. It was amazing to get back in touch with some real good friends that I haven’t seen in over ten years, and some more than that. My old boss and eternal pal Jake, Dante Varrasso, Jamie Gahan, Brian White, Rob Pine, Neil Joyce, Dave Stordy, Lew Conley, Dan Dulaski, Rich Conley, Tommy Winston, Bob Miller, and a host of others attended that night. It was a fascinating time to catch up and find that everyone is doing so well in life. Here’s to everyone there, and to everyone that couldn’t make it. I’m already counting down the weeks until next Thanksgiving.
