You Mean Bridal Showers Don’t Always End in a Singing Parade?

My cousin Lindsey’s getting married! And this weekend was her shower at the Hudson House in Cold Spring, NY. True to form, my aunts, cousins, cousin’s fiances and cousin’s girlfriends stayed about three hours later than everyone else, sharing stories and obviously, serenading a set of twins down on the Hudson River. There was a set list, I just can’t remember what it was. And the little girls loved it. Their parents however were totally creeped out.

Congratulations to Lindsey and Chris! I hope you enjoy the percolator.

PS – I want it noted and documented that the dress I’m wearing is from ninth grade. This is what happens when things don’t get picked up from the dry cleaners and all of your other clothes are in Boston. Ninth grade!

Dad’s Second Annual 60th Birthday Extravaganza: A Camera Phone Diary

A lot went on at Denny Carroll’s Second Annual 60th Birthday Party last week in North Carolina, and a lot of it I can’t discuss. I’d say “what happens in North Carolina stays in North Carolina,” but it’s more like “I can’t remember what happened in North Carolina.” So I guess I have to let the pictures speak for themselves.

P.S. – The one thing I do remember is my kick-ass birdie putt on the 18th hole of the Denny Carroll Second Annual 60th Birthday Golf Outing. Apparently I won a trip to the Bahamas. Second place was a sleeve of used golf balls, so I’m not planning my trip just yet.

No matter how old you get, no matter what occasion, there are always lessons to be learned from your family. Below, the Top 10 tips from the past 4th of July. Enjoy!

1. At 13, texting honeys whilst skateboarding is bad news. When you get a little older, it’s texting and driving. Sexting is bad news at any age.

2. My Uncle Ed is “Mediterranean” according to my Aunt Carole, and that’s why he tans. I thought he was from Yonkers, but I guess I was wrong.

3. Priests don’t like it when you skip church. They also do not like when you do yoga on the front lawn of the rectory.
