They came, they ate, they visited, they left...

What a week. From Tuesday to Monday(today) my Uncle Roland and Cousin Nick stayed with me and my Dad. We packed it all in...visits to Grams, visits to friend's houses, Hartford nightlife, Workouts, Judo, visits with long lost cousins from Arizona, visits from our aunt and uncle from New Jersey, we established Vino da Leone (which was sampled on NUMEROUS evenings), and we ate. BOY DID WE EAT!

(That's my Grandpa Leone and my Uncle Gigi when they were 24 years old!!)

I don't think we could have packed in any more. We EVEN fit in a trip to 99. Got
the flavor for the fever? It's turned into a tradition I guess. Although it wasn't the same without our Irish cousin there. We miss ya Johnny...

What else what else what else...Summer Theatre was this past week as well. Kiss Me Kate was the show. GREAT job everyone...YOU are the reason I come back to play trumpet. I was honored to be a small part of all of your summers. Hopefully you guys will stay in touch...


And lastly how could I forget! This also signifies my LAST week of FREEDOM. Starting on August 11th, this kid is ESPN-bound. That's right...I got the job. Mailroom - At Your Service! You gotta start somewhere. I'm giving myself the goal to try and get promoted by next summer. That gives me about a year which is what my boss told me. I just have to work hard, and keep checking for opens in the various departments that I'll deliver to. Thankfully though, I'll finally have some steady income. I was afraid that the cell phone might have to go if I didn't get a job soon...

So now I trim down the meals again...get back to my daily workout routine. Not to mention, turn my attention to Harry Potter books and playing piano more...

The visit of the summmer...thanx guys...ciao...
