Baby Showers and Family Picnics


Have to give a little shout out to my girlfriend Sophie. She always reads the blog and this weekend was her baby shower. What made her shower unique? Tea and scones. I'm guessing (and she can confirm) is that the tea at a baby shower is a British tradition that got left over in India where Sophie was born and raised. So we had tea, and it was cool. Congrats to Sophie and Ed on their baby boy.


Monday I took off work to go to Fernando's family picnic. It was quite the sports filled day. We got up early for a 6am tee time in the Bronx, played 18 holes with his brothers. After golf, we headed to Lido beach which I think is in Long Island. We ate... And these people know how to picnic. It wasn't just your hot dogs and hamburgers - I mean, they had that too (because what picnic would be complete without it) but there was also a flank like steak which may have been London Broil, sausage and peppers, chicken cutlets, etc. So much to eat, so little time. I'm thinking of converting to Italian-ism. Do I need a sponsor for that?

I love the picnic picture...especially the fact that you're holding a football...ahh, such memories! Also, I'm just a bit sad that I didn't know about the shower for Sophie :(
