All,

As you may have seen in the paper this morning, there was a tsunami

affecting Sri Lanka at 8PM Eastern Standard time on Christmas day. My parents called

early this morning to let us know they are safe and

fine, nothing happened to them. They have a very

quick witted driver who got them into the mountains

far from the coast. There are not a lot of phones

working, but they wanted everyone to know they are

fine. They had been having a wonderful time prior to

this, and now they are just worried about all the people who are in bad shape.

This is pretty much all I know, but in any case you

can feel free to call me at (845) 790-5321 or (845)

489-8303.

Regards,

Jeremy

Well, we are starting on our epic trip. Packing all day today. Eileen and Brittany saw us off! Hooray!

Spent this weekend in DC with the folks. Donald came by too. Went swimming, to the Children’s Museum in Baltimore and then to Brookside Gardens.

Well, what a busy August. We saw Susan in NYC while she was here for her Morgan Stanley training. We ate dim sum and went to the Transit Museum and had dinner in creation. It was a lovely dinner with potato pancakes and a milky, soupy rice/beef/noodle dish. Vince spent the time throwing pennies into the water. It was impressive how fast we spent money on parking. Each time we parked, it was 20 bucks and we did it 4 times. Ha! Oh, we also saw the new Columbus Circle mall and ate at the Whole Foods. This past weekend we went to Maine to see Julia at Cape Porpoise. July’s niece Danielle is getting married this Labor Day weekend and the family is gathering to celebrate. We went to Goose Rocks beach in Maine. On our way back and forth from Maine, we stopped at a bakery in Exeter, NH which had a dough table. We stopped at the Trolley Museum in Maine and a playground in Athens, MA. We also had dinner Friday night with Vince Rotello in Amherst, MA.

Had therapy at the Target store. Last night went to the opera.

Jeremy is in Taiwan now. 🙂

Went out to dinner at the Enchained Duck in Kingston to celebrate our 9th anniversary and Jeremy got the offer today! Hooray!

Went to NY on the train, met up with Rhee at Bryant Park. Ate lunch and went to Central Park.

Katherine’s off to China.

Grumpy morning, Vince didn’t get enough sleep. And for his nap, the gardeners woke Vince up with their equipment. Emy took Vince to see Eileen, so he’ll be well entertained.
