What’s in a Name?

The back story to this photograph is that my lovely daughter Chiara got married in June ’08 and although they were living in Boston, Tom and she got married in New York City.  So they weren’t really here much before or after the wedding.  They came in to get the license and left the day [...]

“What we have here is the failure to communicate”

I’m living in a world where I am omnipresent-everywhere at all times.  If you can’t reach me on my phone a/k/a house phone now a/k/a my land-line, then you can call me on my cell phone OR you can send me an email on at least two of my three email addresses OR you can [...]

There were only three hours between the parties!  And in that short time span, we had to transform Snow White land into the Bada Bing Club – except we were in Boston so probably the name would be more like Copley Cabaret.  So out with the low tables and brightly colored tablecloths,  cut the balloons [...]

It Was Like D-DAY All Over Again

Of course we’re ALL too young to remember D-Day when it happened – June 6,1944, BUT you’ve seen the old war movies, you’ve heard your parent’s and grandparent’s stories about WWII-The Big One and you may have even watched Band of Brothers – the HBO series about D-Day and the invasion of Normandy.  This past [...]
