I turned 30 last weekend! Friday to be exact.
Despite turning what seems to be very old, I had an excellent weekend. We kicked off the festivities on Thursday evening with a last minute plan to go to the Yankee/Red Sox game at Yankee Stadium. Thanks, Mo! Dennis and Matt were up for the last […]

We’ve been back from SXSW for two weeks now and haven’t had a chance to post anything about the week in Austin. We had a great time this year, much due to the fact that many of our ITP friends joined in the fun this year so it was a nice reunion of some of […]

After dinner, Karen […]

We wrapped up our most lackluster bocce season with a prompt first round exit. This season was marred by a lack of Matt on our team along with Sasha not making it to any of our matches. Though we lost the match, we still proceeded with our team dinner at our local Hibachi (get it?) […]

TOAD: Dec. 1st, 2007

TOAD: Dec. 2nd, 2007: Our Bocce team, Watch Your Balls!!, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in the playoffs this season. This was the first season where Sasha didn’t make it to any matches. Coincidence? I think not. Sasha will be back and so will WYB. (Stay tuned for some photos […]
