A Short Stint

Happy Monday!

I was out in NY for a short stint. Thursday night was a dinner for a planning committee, of which I am a part, that is putting together a fundraising conference in the summer. Friday featured a day-long planning meeting hosted by Columbia University.

On Friday night, I stayed in Brooklyn with Alex the A-bomb, AKA RufusQ. The Hackworths and JonJon were in the mix, and I'm glad they seem to be doing fine. I left early in the morning on Saturday for a drive upstate to spend some time with Brandini, Jess, and the three tykes (William, Chloe and Jackie).

Sue took a bus from Providence to New York on Saturday to meet up with us. The bus stalled ten+ times, then started smoking out the back, and at New Haven they changed buses, having lost about two hours of the day to the fiasco. She did get a chance to quickly have lunch with D-Glas, too.

Here're some pics... the first is the main "green" at Columbia (I think) from the steps of the Low Library. Pretty swanky place.


A-bomber doing a radio interview with a cool designer named Jimmy who gave us a Corona and told a couple solid stories about his life in fashion.


One part of an over-the-top, transparently dumb advertising campaign in the subway terminal.


Chloe with plate.


Chloe excited about plate.


Feel better soon, Jackie!


That's William in the back.
