Hi everyone.  Here are some

pictures sent to me by my father in law from the Highland Games in
Enumclaw Washington.  He is of course the dashing young gentleman in the
front row with the distinguished looking grey hair.  Anne finishes her
coursework for the summer today at 1PM and should be going out with her fellows
in the city after that.  Rain Rain Raining.  It has been warm raining
and muggy here in New York for the last couple of days, yet we are promised a
great weekend.  My parents are getting things together for the big trip to
Eastern Europe and my brother is leaving this Sunday after being home for the
last two weeks.  He will be off in Maryland for training for the next 11
weeks.  He has not had much luck on the house hunting front since he is
looking in the very bottom of the range 350,000 in New York!  I have been
sending e-mails to all to let everyone know what we are up to but the best way
to reach us is still e-mail, and keeping up with us through the blog.

My ankle twist from this past Friday looks like it is
healing and I am back to the gym today.  I am still keeping off the 20lbs I
lost on the diet and all is good on that front.  Gus is well but he still
misses all of his friends from Klahanie.  This is especially true of Roxy
our downstairs neighbors dog--Ned and Kelsey.  Ok well I am off to the post
office, campaigning, job searching and the like.  Drop us all a line with
links and such.  Miss everyone.

Ok so now I am doing four things. I got the EIN number for digitalschools.org and the domain name will be transfered once the site is complete. The EIN number is for non-profit status. The web site can be looked at while it is being built at http://drewpecunia.netfirms.com. Eric Lorson and I are moving along on our business plans and I have delivered my HIPPA analysis for Andy Wagner and Eric. I am starting to get calls from companies for a regular job but the economy here is only slightly better than the one in Washington.


The new driveway is in at my parents house.

Interesting I spoke with Elena Pecunia a relative from France who I met on line while doing family hisytory research. We are trying to set up a pow wow online since she speaks French and I speak English. Anne speaks French so she can be the go between althouh she doesn't know it yet.

The house is getting clean clean clean and my mother is getting a little crazy with it before my dads big party and fundraising event this Sunday. For those of you who don't know he is running for supervisor--which is like mayor of Somers. The Wine and Cheese PArty is this Sunday. My brother is still here and will be through next week. He has been taking gus out for 3 mile runs and gus is now warming up to him.

The diet is continuing and I am down 20lb and much fat now. Fitting into size 34 pants now for the first tome in years :). I have been making it to the gym almost every day and feel much better.

Anne is working very hard and just received her first two grades from Fordham University. A's of course! She is doing well and is attending a teacher placement fair for the fall on wednesday. She is taking the all important Social Studies CST for the State of New York on Saturday and has been studying. She is still up at 5pm and to the train and back at 7:30PM from the city. After that she is doing homework until about 12PM. UFFFF!

I got some great shirts in the mail from Anne's mmom and that was a really nice surprise. Thanks! Her Mom and Dad are very very nice.


Anyway it looks like my mom would like a little more help cleaning and getting ready for the big event and I have some job prospects to get back to now. Ta Ta

Anne is back in the city and waiting for her grades to come in from Fordham. It is taking quite a while for the posting of the grades. The new skylight is getting its final touches today and the new driveway is being poured Tuesday of this week. I just got back from having the car looked at, and it looks like we need new front brakes and new tires all the way around. My dads big party is this weekend and the Italian American Club is this Thursday.

My brother Eric is here and he is off until Monday so we are doing some catching up. Anne is back in Bronx teaching away and is starting to get interviews for her permenant placement in the fall. I am putting together the not for profit digital schools web site today and created some information for Active Directory for the business Eric Lorson and I will be running. The low carb diet Anne and I are on is starting to work. Since I arrived in New York I lost 17 pounds and three inches off my waist. Woohoo!! Anne has lost as well. The gym in Yorktown is working out fine for now and we will decide on a perment place to live when Anne gets her final assignment. I am staying in touch with dotnetusers.org and the Walthers are scheduled to come out for business in October. We are looking forward to seeing them.

My dads party for his election is on the 20th and we will be sure and post some pictures form the event up on the blog. Well I am off to the gym. Talk to you all later. Keep the comments coming they are fun. :)
