Ahhh...good to be back. Special thanks to the fine folks at Best Buy for providing Jennie with a brand new replacement computer free of charge after hers recently took a dump. Thanks to them, I return to the blogosphere. Anyway, its been two weeks and a lot has happened...so lets dive right in.

Recently, the wifey and I traveled to Newport R.I. for a family wedding. We had a fantastic time...and although yachts, vineyards and mansions are enormous fun, my shining moment occurred at a tiny rundown sandwich shop tucked away far from the chowder guzzling snobs by the pier. I ordered a sandwich of cooked Bartlett pears, fresh brie and prosciutto and hot baguette. It was magical. It reminded me of the scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade when the knight watches Indy choose the grail and confirms "you have chosen...wisely". Jennie's brother Matt also went with it and I am certain he would mirror my enthusiasm.

Lets see what else? We saw the Gold-man this week, he visited Spumoni for Ree's birthday and continue the happy march towards the April 5 spectacular.

Last night I was driving home from work and "Oh Sherry" by Steve Perry came on the radio. Something in my head forced me to call my cousin Tomas. No clue what the subconscious correlation could be, but he fortunately picked up and was thrilled to be associated with such a timeless classic. When I read this story, I recall my brother's wedding when our friend Angela introduced her date to Me, BazzukaJoe, Broadway Joe and Steve Fatone.
Angela: "I want you to meet my boyfriend, Steve Perry"
Silence and then...
Me: "We're big fans."
Broadway Joe: "Shoulda been gooooone..."
Yeah, I know word and thought association gone awry. Well, I'm ready for work.
