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 […]

Since I have been a delinquent with this blog as of late, I am going to try an update Manlio style. So here goes!
In the last few weeks we have:
- Ran 18 Miles to Coney Island and back in 88 degree weather. It was terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

No longer 30…
October 2, 2007
Last weekend was my 31st birthday and Karen and I started off the celebrations by running 14 miles (longest run ever!). After a little afternoon recovery nap, we headed down to the old neighborhood for some food and drinks at Sidecar.
(TOAD: Sept. 22nd, 2007) After a slew of drinks and some really delicious food (I […]
It’s the Jon and Holice Weekend
May 18, 2007
My friend Jon from college and his fiancĂ©, Holice, are in town for the weekend from Atlanta. I lived with them for a few months when I was in grad school (along with my brother and Chieko) and they would make delicious dinners for themselves and then always make me an extra plate and put […]

First game:
Watch Your Balls!! v. the Mamalukes.
We took them down, though I honestly remember […]
Boccelism Backlash: WYB!! has joined the movement
February 14, 2007
Monday night we had our second bocce match of the season against Boccelism. We were down a player this week without Daya, so we knew it would be a tough match, especially because Boccelism is quite good. They may have won the last tournament, but I am really not sure, and quite frankly don’t really […]
Team Kane Street takes it to the mountain
February 11, 2007
Alex and I headed up north last Wednesday for a few days on snow. We had planned on taking a trip somewhere when Dennis so generously offered to let us stay at his house at Mount Snow. We ended up picking last week to go, which coincidentally happened to fall during the same week as […]
