Been busy had a huge contract to do for Microsoft and an interview and Anne had her last three days of things for training before getting another week off before school. I went with Anne to the city on Monday Tuesday and Wednesday and explored the city and took care of some things we needed to take care of in the city. As well I had a telephone screen for an excellent job position. Today is Sunday and things have cooled off in New York. In fact last night it was below 60 F. Just put the F for our international friends.
We are off this afternoon to a political fundraiser for my dad, and then off to NJ for a party at the home of Anne's professor Frank Melia. It is a get together of all of the fellows in her program and it should be fun. Which we will need since my dad went ahead and ordered 5 yards of dirt to be distributed (by US) around the edges of the new driveway. This is scheduled to arrive at 9AM and the digging and shoveling and such should begin promptly. Wanna join in the fun! Stop by and free beer is included. (I don't seriously think anyone will take me up on this of course!)
We spoke with Anne's mom and she seems like she is very very busy with new applications at the school. She is an assistant director of financial aid at a college in Washington.
Next week looks nice and Anne is off. We plan on having a little fun. Hope all is well with everyone.

Hey all just returned from the Italian American Club Somers BBQ at Reis park.
It was a great event and turnout was very strong. Needless to say the
people were very entertaining and the food was fantastic. Lots of families
and kids at the event! Yesterday we went to a winery in
North Salem that is on a farm and
had lunch a museum in Katonah.
Both are about 3 miles from my parents house in Somers.
This weekend we visited the
Brotherhood Winery in upstate New York and went to the
Church Home
called Olana. I am including all of the links I can so that all of you can
see what we have been up to these days.
Anne is back to school prep for the first three days of this week and then
she is off again for about 1 and 1/2 weeks before resuming a normal work and
school schedule. Anne is actually out with my parents right now heading
back to the Italian American Club. I am off to the gym since it is closing
at 5PM. Hope all is well with everyone else.

Just about 7:46 PM and just got back from moving Anne's NYC Teaching Fellow cohort into his new apartment (Nick is very Nice--he will be working with Anne at her new school) in Inwood about 4 blocks from Anne's School and on the Park at Riverside on the Hudson River. He is going to keep up with the Super of the apartment because we would like to rent there as well :). It was very hot but we got everything moved in for Nick and will be looking forward to his housewarming party. We met a great woman also in the fellows program who volunteered to help him out of the goodness of her heart named Jenifer. We hope to see more of her as well she is very nice.
While waiting for Nick to get the U-haul we spent some time touring the neighborhood again and found it to be loaded with parks and an off leash dog park for the gusaroo. The entire area is surrounded by a 196 acre park! And it is in NYC. Anyway I stink and should probably take a shower before we head out to dinner with my parents. Hope to hear from everyone soon.

Ok. My parets are back from Prague and Vienna and they had just a great time even tough as everyone knows it was hotter than heck in Europe. We watched the video last night and I can really say that I would enjoy a trip there myself. Anne is getting really relaxed and has another week off. We are in the final push for signatures this week and Anne and I are off to help get my dad on the IND ballot. He is already on the democratic ballot of course :).
IT IS NOT RAINING TODAY. Things are supposed to dry out by the end of the week. Things are moving along with digitalSchools.org. I got hit pretty hard by a virus on my computer this weekend. . .icky... Hey if anyone has a moment check out my friends site at http://www.leelafever.com. He is a great blogger and a guy with a very simple but profound idea about corporate communication.
Well its off to get those petitions signed. . . .
