"The Boys" Turn 50!!
My uncles, Bob and Drew (below), turned 50 and we celebrated at Drew and Bill's house on Sunday.
I was asked to give a roast, er toast, to celebrate their birthday and here's what I came up with:
A list of some of the things that we (Michael, Marissa and I) learned from having Bob and Drew as Uncles:

My uncles, Bob and Drew (below), turned 50 and we celebrated at Drew and Bill's house on Sunday.
I was asked to give a roast, er toast, to celebrate their birthday and here's what I came up with:
A list of some of the things that we (Michael, Marissa and I) learned from having Bob and Drew as Uncles:
1. No matter how cheesy moustaches that Michael and I might grow are, they will never be as bad as the Boys'.
2. Apparently, Clairol has a whole range of color products for men.
3. Bikes that are built on Christmas Eve while drunk must be re-built the next morning.
4. Superman is a fictional character. A tatoo, apparently, does not change that fact.
5. We learned all the words to the theme song from "Welcome Back Kotter".
6. It is possible to eat and drink all you want and still look anorexic.
7. Passing out at any age is never pretty.
8. Christmas shopping at Fredericks of Hollywood for your aunt is apparently okay.
9. Naming black and white dogs Ebony and Ivory is not as cute as it sounds. Even if the dogs are.
10. And, finally:
- The cost Jello shots at the OD*: $1.00
- The cost of sea monkeys; $12.00
- The cost of 28 tickets to Star Wars in 1977: $84.00
- The cost of therapy for Michael, Marissa, and I: Probably
in the millions
- Having Bob and Drew as uncles (especially when we can catch it
on video: PRICELESS!!
Happy Birthday Guys!!!

We're Engaged!!!
I cannot describe how happy I am - excited doesn't come close, ecstatic is closer, but still does quite hit the mark, that Anita has agreed to be my wife!!!
The proposal took place on the beach in Wildwood Crest, NJ on Friday night, July 7, 2006 around 9:45pm. We walked out on the beach and after evading cops on ATVs, fireworks and zombies (long story), I finally managed to get to a spot where I could ask her. I drew a (very bad) picture of ring in the sand and asked her what it was. When she asked, "Is it a ring?", I said, "No, this is a ring", pulled out the engagement ring I had purchased, dropped down on one knee and asked her to marry me.
Lucky for, she said, "Yes", and made me the luckiest man in the world!!!
I love you, Sweetheart!! I guess this'll mean changes to the blog. Stay tuned for information on the plans as we begin preparing for the wedding!
