A Terrific Weekend!

Well... that was fun!

Drove up to CT Saturday morning with The Wyfe and Marvelous Matt. Stopped at Mom's before heading up to Loomis Chaffee for the Homecoming football game against Deerfield.
031 by you.
Despite an Overtime loss, had a good time showing everyone around the campus as this was my first time back in nearly 20 years. Had some NJ Royalty with us as well, as JD & his Mom came up for the game (JD's nephew plays for Deerfield.)

There were also a bunch of old teammates there, which was great & very amusing.

034 by you.

Then we went to see Joan Rivers perform in Hartford and visited her backstage before the performance. (My favorite line of hers that night was backstage when she looked at Mom's fur and said, "You didn't get that working as a nurse!")

A terrific dinner at Peppercorns

038 by you.

and then back to watch the end of the marathon 5 hour 10 minute Yankee victory.

On Sunday Matt & I met Rusty for $8 pitchers at the "Time Out" Sports Bar in the Manchester Parkade and watched the Saints dominate the Giants. Then The Wyfe drove us home, with a quick McDonald's stop as we listened to the Patriots DESTROY the Titans on the radio.

041 by you.

A great time, packing a lot of fun in with old friends...

Pro Photo from Dom's Dinner


We told "Doc" our happy news and, elated, he immediately launched in to stories of Jesus and the power one little baby has. Genius.

The Man



Dom Failla - my Philosophy / Religion professor from Loomis. The man who introduced me to (personal hero) Joseph Campbell. Had a tremendous evening in honor of his retirement. Thank you, good sir...

Former Headmaster John Ratte



Wow... Great to see him again & he delivered a wonderful speech.

Stevie!



My high school AP English teacher delivers the opening toast for a lovely evening honoring Dom Failla. Stevie remembered me fondly telling The Wyfe, "Guzo was one of my most brilliant students. Easily in the top 2-3,000." Nice.
