The Chicago Invasion

-
This Sunday the Schur girls arrive from Chicago.

New York may never be the same again.

Monday will herald the neighborhood weenie roast.The invitation is for any kids under 10 to show up for free food and drink.

The warmup will be on Tuesday, when the girls descend on Rye Playland and play splash the grandparents.

The big event on Wed is tea with Lucille and Abby at American Girl, an event as complex and expensive as the D Day invasion.

Emily and Jeff will follow Dora the Explorer's route at the Children's museum in New York.
Perhaps a quick viewing of dinosaurs at the Museum of Natural History.

Then the big one. On Thursday night we leave for the sleepover so that on Friday early a.m. we invade Six Flags in Massachusets.



Full report after next week.

Within a year they transferred me to JWT as a senior Account Executive. There they gave me the Beecham new business assignment which I had begun working on in CT. We got the Beecham a...

What not to mummy

Testing out this iPhone blogger application and I'm struck with the concept that there should be a reality show for overbearing mothers entitled "What not to Mummy" Each week they would profile some the worst overbearing mothers and teach them how to lighten up a little and let their kids grow up already.

Tim comes to town

Tim is here, all 6'1" of him, a virtual eating machine. Said hello to New York with a midnight street hot dog chased by a Baconator from Wendy's for the car home. Followed by a mound of Indian food at the mandatory Coramandel first night.(Followed by the usual breakfast of my leftover curry). 20 Crabs at the crabfest while sucking on a Long Island Iced Tea following a picnic and a couple of beers. Record amounts of fried Calamari and Japanese Tempura. Gallons of multicolored liquids consumed without visibly swallowing. Love every minute of time with this accomplished young man nicknamed "Jeeves" as he chauffeurs us everywhere.
