Mikey Runs a Marathon

This morning I received a phone call from Mikey. "Guess what I just did," asks Mikey. "I haven't a clue," replies Lisette. "I just ran a half marathon," says Mikey.

Today Mike ran a half marathon in NYC. He didn't tell his siblings. He didn't tell his parents. He didn't even tell his girlfriend. Instead, when he lost a bet a couple months ago, he decided he would haphazardly train, and not tell anyone just in case he didn't actually finish.

Well, he finished. And I want to make a big deal and say congratulations, but I still can't get past the fact that he ran a HALF MARATHON and didn't tell a soul. Just his college friends who bet him in the first place.

But. An accomplishment is an accomplishment and running a half marathon is a big deal in my book. So, Congratulations, Mikey! You are one of the strangest people I know.

The Calm: A 4th Birthday

What a lovely family party we had! With Ma, Nonna, Lisette and Aloise celebrating with us. Spaghetti, meatballs and steak, then chocolate cake and ice cream. Drumsticks, guitar, soccer ball, "I Love You Because You're You" book, Italian/English Picture Dictionary, baseballs and a mitt (remember the mitt Luca? No...? oh well.)

More from The Wedding

Sorry about the poor filming job! I was trying to let him know I was down there. Should have had someone else film it, but anyway the last few moments are worth it.

Forecast for Saturday

"Plenty of sun. Highs in the mid 80s and lows in the mid 60s."

YEEHAW!!!!
