09.21.25 Our first wedding weekend is over...


... and what a weekend it was. We did it! Well they did it! Congrats to our Tara and her husband Simon on their wedding day. Many of you have been down this road before but this was out first rodeo. And rodeo is appropriate because the kids live in Texas, but married at St. James 


in Red Bank and had the reception in Freehold. They did a great job planning everything from across the country and coordinating guests coming in from Texas, Long Island, Florida, Spain, and Taiwan.


     Above are the happy parents, yes there's six of us, of the bride and groom and I couldn't be more proud and happy for them. 

It's been a busy year for me and now I feel I can finally exhale. I took on the extra work during the spring semester, actually doing the work of three professors, opening up Cape May, heading off to Martha's Vineyard for a week, a big trip to Ireland, dealing with the busted pipe flooding in the house, and then the wedding. I'm not complaining because it's been all good, but now I hope to settle in a bit and concentrate on work, the house, and fishing. Fishing, what is that? 

It's about 10 days until I leave for the Vineyard and fishing The Derby. That should be fun.
