It’s the Jon and Holice Weekend

Date 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 […]

Spring 2007 Bocce Finals

Date April 30, 2007

Team Kane Street had a super busy weekend between two days of the spring bocce tournament at Floyd in Brooklyn and a baptism for Kota out on Long Island. Saturday afternoon we kicked off the first day of the tournament.

First game:
Watch Your Balls!! v. the Mamalukes.
We took them down, though I honestly remember […]

Boccelism Backlash: WYB!! has joined the movement

Date 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 […]

Watch Your Balls!! comes out of the gate strong

Date February 6, 2007

TOAD: February 5th, 2007: Last night marked the kickoff of the Winter Season of bocce at Floyd and Watch Your Balls!! (Karen, Sara, Daya, Matt and Kevin) was ready to roll, trying to right the wrongs from the playoffs last season.
We kicked off this season against New Kids on the Bocc - a team we […]

Rehearsal Dinner: Chestnut

Date September 24, 2006

Karen and I chose our favorite local restaurant, Chestnut, as the location for our rehearsal dinner.

From the first time we ate there in the late Spring, we wanted to devise a way to hold the event there. Working with chef Daniel Eardley and sommelier Michael Connolly was great from the beginning. They invited us to […]

Do it for the Mommas!

Date May 15, 2006

This weekend was the Spring bocce tournament at Floyd on Atlantic Avenue. Our team, Watch Your Balls!!, had a not so awesome record of 2-6 going into the playoffs. Last week we kicked off the tournament when the team we were supposed to play didn’t show up. We love forfeits! The remaining part of the […]

Bush League Bocce

Date May 8, 2006

Sunday morning started out with me feeling too guilty not taking Sasha to Prospect Park despite my Kentuckian swerve I tied on the before. Karen was again hit hard with allergies so Sash and I ventured out on our own to Prospect Park. All in a ll it was a good trip where I learned […]

Who’s got their money on Deputy Glitters?

Date May 8, 2006

Saturday morning started early with a trip to Prospect Park with Karen and Sasha for early morning off-leash hours. Prospect Park in the mornings is like a dog wonderland - hundreds of dogs freely running around, playing, swimming, etc… (now that I see that written out, it sounds like Dennis’ worst nightmare) Afterwards we […]

Air Guitar Fever. Catch it!

Date April 26, 2006

Apparently Spring is Air Guitar season. After Dennis and I caught Air Guitar Nation (quick synopsis: a documentary following the first US entrants into the Air Guitar World Championships which are held yearly on a tiny Finnish island.) while we were at SXSW. The movie was a blast so when I found out it was […]
