Expensive diet pill?

Since I started taking Malerone, an antimalarial pill, I've lost 12 pounds. I lost 3 pounds before I left for India, almost 7 pounds in India, and ~ 3 more since I returned. I look much like the picture Jon posted from 14 years ago.

I go off the Malerone today, and I'm hoping to balloon back to my welterweight class. The other option is I have a tapeworm.

7th grade lunch break


This might be the only time in my life I have taken a picture with people my age and actually looked older than one of them.

If you're bored

If you're bored and want to see pictures and comments to my family on my current trip to India, check out mazzuccoindia.blogspot.com.

I was quite impressed that Mo set up her own blog so I now have one too.

Warning: the text is not intereting and the pictures are designed to remind my children that I exist.

A close-up


Can someone explain?

If you can't read the text, it says, "But dad, will Chennai be like New Jersey?"

Cheerio

Hey all,

First and foremost, congratulations Rob and Devon!!! That's wonderful news, I'm so happy for you both.

Secondly, I just want to pass along my new blog which I'm going to use to keep friends and family up to date during my time here in London. It's maurissauk.blogspot.com. If you want any other contact info, please email me whenever.

Lastly...well, I have no lastly. It was really just those two things.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful January 2008! I'm traumatized by the Colts' recent loss, but I guess the upside is I won't have to stay up all night here to watch the Super Bowl. So there's that.

Chip chip cheerio!

BLD v2.0


I was able to share (by phone) with those who went to NYE in DE the good news. We were still cautious given what happened the last time and had not shared with anyone but a few select family members. Check out the one of the newest arrivals to the BLD in early August! Arms and legs were moving and all there (whew!). Devon is sick and tired which, strangely, is a fairly good thing when you're pregnant. Otherwise, all is well. We're looking forward to seeing you all in June at the Reunion.

Backgammon

BLD Poll: Who is better/best at backgammon?

Why are bushes bushy?

USA! usa?
SEC! sec?

anyway, Georgia's dismantling of Hawaii was overshadowed by Florida's embarassing loss at the hands of Applachian State, I mean Michigan.

And I don't even want to talk about the Illinois game.

I think I'm over college football for this year. It made me sick like Space Mountain. Although, I like Space Mountain...and I guess I like college football. Just not this year.
Definitely not this year.
Given that my team, well.
Irish??

Happy New Year

Like Douglay, I was very sorry not to be able to be in attendance at this year's festivities. Hopefully, everything will work out for the reunion in a few months.

Hillary and I spent the better part of yesterday packing. I was in charge of the attic and stumbled across a box full of everything I'd saved from Dartmouth. In my folder from Modern Political Thought (Winter 1996), I found this scribbled on the back of a handout from Marcus Fischer, our Austrian professor.

Apparently, these were the early scribbles of the mad geniuses behind the advertising for BLD, the publication. Click on the picture for a better view of this museum-worthy artifact.

Happy New Year!

Yes, I know I'm early. I lost my cell phone (with everyone's numbers) a couple days ago and I haven't been able to find people's numbers yet.

We're extremely disappointed we didn't make it to L&L's today. December has been pick-a-plague month in our household. We wound up staying in Boston today because Julia is just getting over her 2nd bout of pneumonia of the month.

Wish we were there, watching Julia play with the rest of BLD 2.0, and kicking Lincoln's butt at pong. Happy New Year to the Delaware congregation and the rest of the BLD! We've gone global!

More reunion condo stuff

The quechee guy called me back today. There is one biggish place available.
It's $500 per night, and maybe could fit three families or one family and two other couples. That works out to be pretty cheap if you break that down per person.

There are plenty of smaller places that could fit individual families. Please let me know if you're interested or not, b/c I'll have to book something for the Mazzuccos soon.

Thanks.

Reunion condos

Here is the link Shannon sent seven months ago.
http://www.quecheelakesrentals.com/

At this point, you should know whether you'll be too pregnant to go to the reunion, or whether you'll have a 2 month old at the time, so perhaps we can get a more clear sign up.

We're going to be there, and we'd love to stay near everybody. I'm going to check out the website tonight, and try to books something by next weekend. Let me know if you have any thoughts or want to try to share a bigger condo or something.

Reviewing the old posts, the Willises and Hursts were planning to attend, and the Papsdorfs were a maybe. Don't know about others.

Hawaii = BCS Bowl Game

Alright you all. Which state has the only undefeated college football team this year?

I don't want to hear no talk about easy schedule or anything and everyone best be cheering against Georgia, NYD. Especially all the folks that will be in Delaware.

I love football!
