Sister-In-Law's Birthday

Yesterday was my sister-in-law's birthday. Happy Birthday to her. It was also my friend Darby's birthday. It was also my friend Diana's wedding, and since I went to that, that's what I'm gonna talk about.

The wedding was beautiful. After I sang my song, I was like a rock star. Everyone was telling me how beautiful the song was and asking if I was professional. That felt good.

The reception was at Giando's in Brooklyn, which features breathtaking views of the NYC skyline. There was an excellent live band called Good Clean Fun (check 'em out online), delicious food and a full dance floor. I sat at a table with Moses, Cynthia, Guernzly, Ernzey and a few of Diana's relatives. It was super!!!! Now I am tired.

Tuesday, I leave for a ten day session at Camp AmeriKids. I'll try to update while I'm there, but past experience tells me that it probably won't happen. I'm sure you'll hear more stories than you want to when I get back though!

Alright, then. Be good!

Wedding Rehearsal

Oh, my gosh! When I read these posts back, I can't help but think how boring they are. I promise I'll write something exciting soon, but in the meantime, as long as I have a few readers, I might as well keep writing. Just bear with me... it'll get better.

Well tonight was the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. I get to sing in this cavernous, old, beautiful catholic church, and it is so much fun. Because there isn't a soft surface in the place, it is all echo-y and resonant and it makes me sound like I have this really big, magnificent voice. It is hard to hear the accompaniment, but who cares about the accompaniment.

Anyway, afterwards we had dinner at this nice little Italian place with an Italian name that I don't remember. I had ravioli, calimari, salad, salmon and boiled new potatoes. I like being around Diana's (the bride's) family, because they are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet and they are fun to be around.

Now I'm back in Queens at St. John's University staying with my friend Moses, who right this moment singing very loudly in the other room. I don't know the name of the song. I'm sure you care. Anyway, it's late and I'm tired, so I'll write more tomorrow if I get a chance.

Oh, yeah. Before I forget, I have a brother.

I Made It Here...

In case anyone is worried about me, I made it to NY all in one piece. I even got bumped up to business class, because they oversold the cheap seats. Very cool! Anyway, I didn't do much else today but travel, so I'll write back more soon.

My New 'Blog...

Hey! My good friend Alex wanted me to start this 'blog. I'm not sure why. My life is pretty boring. I can't imagine anyone actually reading it. But you are obviously here, so...

The first thing I want to write about is that I just beat Alex at Mario Party 5. He thought he could beat me no problem, but he was wrong. He cried a little bit, but all in all he was a good sport about it, I guess. Anyway, I had fun playing (since I won) and really that's what's important, right?

Other than that, here's what's going on with me: I'm leaving on Wednesday for New York to sing in a wedding and spend a week working with some amazing little guys at Camp AmeriKids. I used to live in New York, and I've been working at AmeriKids for about seven summers now, so it'll be good to see some old friends while I'm up there. When I get back, it'll be one week until my sister's wedding and then I start a new job. So I've got a lot going on in the next few weeks. I'll try to keep you updated, because if you're still reading this far down, you obviously are keenly interested in the mundane details that make up my life... maybe you should find a hobby.

Later...
