Cavs eliminated

Jon, I'm sorry to hear that the Cavs were eliminated last night.

I don't know if you also heard this, but it's true: the Indians have also forfeited their next 75 games due to injuries, thus mathematically eliminating them from playoff consideration.

And I'm sure you heard that Eric Mangini has already declared 2009 a rebuilding year for the Browns, and they are already aiming for a good position in the 2010 draft.

I guess it's a bad day for Cleveland sports fans.

At least you'll be going to New Jersey in a few weeks.

Now if this isn't cool...

I don't know what is.

Indian Comeback.

I just happened to be watching sportscenter and noticed a huge comeback by a certain Cleveland Indians ballclub. I assume knee-high socks had something to do with it.

It was probably only over-shadowed by a rousing sing-a-long for the Cubs during the 7th inning stretch led by the only and only Mr. T. There's no way anyone or anyteam can overshadow B.A. Barrackus.

pillows?

We have recently come into possession of approximately 3 dozen pillows. If you are in need, let us know. Ideally, you could come pick them up in Connecticut in the next week or so. But alternate arrangements will be considered.

Anyone remember this email from back in the day?

New Homestead

So in addition to the one of the busiest times of the year at the winery and having a 9month old first child, Devon and I decided to complicate matters further by buying a house.  It's been a crazy month, including negotiating offers at 1am while in Detroit for the Final Four.  The good news is that we should close on time this Wed, May 13th.  We're obviously super excited, but I'll wait until I have the keys in hand and we're done moving before I exhale.  Everyone is welcome to visit of course!  The next time you swing by Ripon, California, please drop in. 

Interesting fact: the closest cross street is "Devon Lane".  

June 13-14 - Greater Philadelphia

BLD New Years 2009 will officially be in the greater Philly area the weekend of June 13-14.  The Mazzuccos and the Walshes will conspire to keep us busy.  If we're lucky, some of us might even get invited to Mary Grace's birthday party, so be on your best behavior between now and then.

So fly, drive, swim, whatever.  Dan, Shannon/Kevin, let us know what you think the best sleeping accomodations might be.  

The only remaining question is what could Lincoln possibly have to do for two full days that is more important than seeing all of us?  Laura is the better half anyway, so we'll gladly enjoy her company without him.

Can't wait to see everyone and meet all of our new little BLDers.
