A little R&R ...

Michelle & I recently spent a wonderful week visiting family & friends in NY. Our trip started off with a fun-filled trek to Manhattan where we caught up with friends in Central Park West. The weather was perfect for relaxing & schmoozing on the grass. Later that afternoon we headed cross-town to the Upper East Side to catch some roof-top scenery, and see Michelle's cousin Shoshana and her newborn son Gabriel a block over.



The following day we attended Mike & Lori's wedding at the Woodbury Country Club (literally 5 minutes from my house). It was awesome! We ate, drank and danced to our heart's content. Familiar faces were in attendance, including friends from college & my high school orchestra teacher! (first cousin to the groom's mother). We wish the newlyweds a liftetime of health and happiness ...



Monday was spent with family in upstate NY (Schenectady), where I hadn't been in quite some time. Always great to see the Meyers clan ... thanks to Uncle Bernie for treating us to a delicious Japanese dinner!

The following day was my father's 64th birthday. We celebrated with more delcious Japanese food at a nearby Osaka restaruant. I also got to spend some time with my aging french poodle, Coquette, who is sadly a shell of her former self ;-(

The rest of the week was spent relaxing, eating, relaxing and ... oh wait, more eating! :-) Many thanks to the wonderful hosts. Our batteries are now energized for the home stretch!
