He’s Back (temporairly)
I am back from Italy, although apparently for a short time. I returned yesterday, and it sounds like work will be sending me to Chicago tomorrow. Jet lag has me up bright and early, trying to get caught up on bills, email and all the other stuff that queues up when you leave society for … Continue reading
Tuscan Living
Today is the final day at our villa in Tuscany. We leave tomorrow morning for an airport hotel in Florence in preparation for an early departure on Sunday morning. The villa has a wonderful view of vineyards and olive groves, and the sounds of the city are replaced by the whistling of workers picking grapes, … Continue reading
My Return to Florence
Today marks my return to Florence for the second time this year, and oddly enough we parked right across the street from where Meghan and I stayed when we were here about 2 months ago. This was the hotel we stayed in right before I "popped the question" in the town of Asolo. Walking by … Continue reading
Starting up week 2…
After countless orientations, trainings, institutes and such I began my professional career as a teacher last Monday at MS 391 in the Bronx. At the start of the week I was relatively calm and anxious about finally getting started, and at the end of the week I got my first paycheck! I made it through … Continue reading
Greetings from Tuscany
I’m enjoying my first full day in the Tuscany region with my parents and sister. Thus far, the weather (and the Italian wine) have been perfect! We’re staying in a small villa in the heart of Tuscany. I’ll post the name of the town later, since I’ll offend any real Italians in the audience with … Continue reading
I am off to Italy!
I going on vacation with my family, and it?s the first time in a number of years since the four of us have taken a vacation together since we?ve gradually become scattered across the northeast. It?s also the first time in a long time since Meghan and I have been apart for more than a … Continue reading
My Last Day!
One last look at Barry Place, where I worked as a Pitney Bowes employee. After a great send off party, today is my last day! (image removed in preparation for new gallery software)
Resignation
This is the second time I?ve changed jobs since I started working in 1999 and one of the many details of the change is the ?letter of resignation.? I think my original concept of the letter of resignation comes from Whitehouse TV dramas, where a disgraced subordinate of the President walks into the Oval Office, … Continue reading
New Jobs!
Tomorrow is Meghan?s first day of teaching at her new job in the Bronx! We?re turning in early so she?ll be ready to go tomorrow morning! Meghan has promised an update here after her first day. In other job news, this is my last week at Pitney Bowes! It?s been a good run, but it?s … Continue reading
The First Purchase
Only a few days after our engagement, Meghan and I made our first wedding related purchase. The wedding books and websites advise buying planning kits, calendars and all the latest wedding magazines, however, still in the throes of post-engagement bliss, the only logical first purchase was, of course, two Italian champagne flutes! During a visit … Continue reading
Congrats to Matt and Amy!
Meghan and I are back from York, PA. and wanted to wish Matt and Amy the best of luck! We attended their wedding and had a great time! The ceremony took place outdoors, on a really beautiful setting. I’m sure by the time this gets posted they’ll be off to Hawaii for their honeymoon!
David Bowie
Our life is reminiscent of the David Bowie song “Changes” these days. I just signed an employment contract with a German consulting company called syskoplan, and bought a new car, all in the course of one week! I’ll be leaving Pitney Bowes after three great years, to try my hand back in the rough and … Continue reading
