I’ve been uploading photos as quick as I can, including this gem from July 2005 when rIAm and I went up north. My sister’s request for more family photos is being addressed, as well as a variety of other photos. So head on over to our flickr page and check ‘em out.

daily photo: mom and son
We had a great Thanksgiving weekend, including a lovely dinner at Ellen & David’s (roughly 30 people strong!) on Thursday. rIAm particularly liked this shot, and since my sister said I don’t post enough family photos, voila!
You can find more photos from our Thanksgiving weekend here.
And I created a famiglia set on flickr, which [...]
“Do not disturb… romance in progress”
We’ve been on honeymoon since 2 August and just got back to Chicago last night. It was a rude awakening but details of just how rude it was will have to wait until we’ve gotten some much needed rest and oriented ourselves back to non-vacation life.
Someone actually had the do not disturb sign I quoted [...]
To My (New) Family
Italian Speech:
Vorrei dire qualche parola per Renee e la sua famiglia. Anzitutto vi prego di scusare il mio accento.

It’s just what they did in their home country of Italy, not because their town had a program in place or because [...]
The last days of my 20s
The last days of my 20s have been filled with family, food and plenty of frivolity. The last days of my 20s have been unforgettable.
In the last days of my 20s, a visit to Chicago’s Little India on Devon Avenue and poking around in wonderous fabric shops has served to heighten my over a decade-long [...]
Zia Rosina (1924 – 2006)
My dad called on Monday night with news that his aunt — my great aunt — Rosina had passed away Monday morning. It was a somewhat unexpected death. Even though Zia Rosina was 81 and had been quite ill a couple years ago, it seemed when I last saw her on 29 December 2005, she [...]
It’s That Holiday Time of Year (Or How My Sister Learned to “Love” Me)
I’m minutes away from embarking on the sojourn to Toronto for Christmas. The car is stuffed — I’ve decided that rIAm and I have more stuffed into the car than my family of four would take on road trips — and wonderful people are waiting for us on the other end. I’m really looking forward [...]
