Expressing Ourselves
It was David’s last free Monday in NY and we packed in as much as we could on LI for the day. We tried the pool - way too cold - so we played some pool instead, along with lots of other games and anything we could pack into Sunday night through Tuesday morning. One of these days, I will have to visit David and his family in Texas. I think there are no words to describe how much he will be...
Fame
In Octocber, a new TV network will be launched. “Epix” will be the first stop for movies from Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM. When the 2009 version of Fame makes its television debut in June 2010, you can view it on Epix.

We went for a late night swim and showed my cousins some of the exercises...
Billy BBQ II

At my cousins’ beautiful house, we enjoyed the pool, the hot tub, the great food and great company. In honor of Tessa’s 19th birthday, her mom, sister Kelsey and I performed a rap (cake followed). Then my Uncle Tommy and my Uncle Patrick loaded 37 of us on their 2 boats...
