We have another driver in the house. Kelly passed the driver’s test in his second try, this time in Bedford, Pa, which is almost certainly in Ohio. Why did we go 3 hours away for the second try? Was Kelly’s first attempt THAT disastrous?? No. But the next open slot for a drivers test in…

Grace McKeone grabbed her camera, figured out how to set it for 10-second delay, and ran over in time to be in this photo of the whole gang from the Degeorges’ Waymart lake house.

Ed. note: Posted by Virginia Just back from brief stay in Vermont at the invitation of our dear friends, Ken and Betsy. To make it even better, took Eileen Gilligan! We hiked, biked, did some yoga, kayaked and I even swam in the incredible Lake Willoughby in the Northeast Kingdom. Loved being with the Plume/Raineys…

I got tickets to the All-Star Game from a colleague at work (thank you, Eric Adams) and invited my brother Chris. The game was at CitiField, home of the Mets. We had a good time, though the game was pretty lame. We couldn’t remember the last time we had 10 hours all to ourselves, brother…

We got back on Monday night from 12 days in California—San Francisco to Yosemite to Sequoia to Hearst Castle, up the Pacific Coast Highway to Monterey, then to San Fran for a Giants-Dodgers game and the trip back from SFO. I’m sure there’s lots to say, but I think I’m going to have Virginia handle…

I like how it looks as if Pete’s bottom (red swim suit) is attached to Nick’s blue top. We had a good time in Atlantic Highlands for the holiday. The boys had a good time in the pool.

I got a last-minute offer to grab some VIP passes to the US Open, which is being held at the Merion Golf Club this year, and Pete and I went (Kelly had to work). We had a good time. Beautiful day. Access to the Lexus VIP tent (where Pete met ESPN studio guy Scott Van…

Virginia trained the lousy camera in her iPad on her No. 2 son, who wasn’t happy about it.

Virginia ran down to Vero Beach for a few days of R&R with Kevin’s mom and his dad’s cousin from England, Catherine, and her husband Terry. The weather cooperated for the most part. The love bugs did not. A love bug, apparently, is an insect that locks in an indiscreet, amorous embrace in the Florida…

I don’t go more than a couple days without someone asking me how Kelly’s health is. After his difficult stretch through the late fall through January, including two trips to the hospital related to flares of his colitis, it’s on our minds, too. I’m happy to say that we’ve got what seems like a durable…

But there was no saving Ohio State in its Elite 8 game, when it lost to Wichita State. Their team name: Shockers. No joke. If we’re looking for scapegoats, Kevin dropped about half his chicken parm sandwich on his T-shirt and couldn’t get it cleaned up.

We went to Chris and Judy’s “new” renovated house for a relaxing, tasty dinner. We received a text from the Kirks, who appeared to be enjoying the sun in Florida. (It was 50 and raining in NJ.)
