Just returned to Boston tonight after 2+ weeks away, mostly spent on the West Coast visiting with family, friends and Scottie (obvi), but also a little bit in Texas, So Cal and NYC! Jet setter? Yep, gotta earn that elite status some how!
Highlights from the trip?
- Christmas morning @ home....3 bottle of champagne consumed! That's how the Ziders roll, duh!
- More champagne at the Maulick's - many thanks to Uncle Michael for letting me imbibe multiple bottles of Veuve
- Dinner at Nadine's - a delicious roast and good company w/all the Peradotto and 2 of 3 Dwyer kids
- Cocktails at Lotti's! Love those ladies - always crack me up
- Dinner w/the Elliott cousins @ Tyler and Nikki's - and the ensuing "Naked Game"!! Oh ya baby!
- Shooting a 9mm handgun at the range with the fam....yep, you read that right! I = champ, although I don't hold a flame to Scott's bro, Marino, on this one....
- Go-cart racing for Alex's Christmas gift. Holy crap that is REALLY tiring! I held my own pretty well with the boys but I think I need more practice
- Dinner with the Princeton '06 crowd @ Tipsy Pig. Sweet potato fries that made me die and go to heaven. And finally got to meet Maag's squeeze!!
- NYE done right - lots of alcohol, good friends and good times! Waking up at 3 pm on New Year's Day? GREAT start to 2010!
- Double date w/Rosy and Andre at Old Pro in Palo Alto. In case you haven't been there and happen to be looking for a mechanical bull, it can be found @ Old Pro! Next time I'm totally getting on that thing!
- Tasty Burmese food at the one, the only, Burma Superstar. LOVE that place
- Rendez-vous with former SF MS'ers, Julie and Deepak, in So Cal
- Date night w/Scottie too Hottie at Garibaldi's - jeez that was delicious! And not bad company either ;-)
- NYC opera with my fave NYC ladies followed by an equally intellectual viewing of The Hangover!!! Brunch @ Sarabeth's before jetting back to Boston was a MUST.
- Learning how to use google video and webcams! Welcomed into the 21st century finally with a laptop. Woo hoo!
First day back in the office tomorrow after my work travels last week in So Cal and Texas. Guess I better get some sleep!
