We signed up for the beginners’ package: Four group lessons (waltz and rumba) and three private lessons. Tonight is the final group lesson; we’re skipping it because we’re just too run down and stressed out […]

I thought I didn’t have this picture since it never showed up among the digital shots or 35mm film we posted following our Italy trip last year. Yet lo and behold, about a month ago I realized there were still a number of photos on my 35mm camera that I had never developed. So I […]

Vassar Chapel Construction

Jen and I have known for quite some time that the Vassar Chapel was going to be under construction on our Big Day — though we were led to believe that the construction would be over by this coming summer. We found out well after we had booked the Chapel and begun other planning (it […]

Bostonian Akron Shoes
Monday, June 2nd, 2003 · Comments Off on Bostonian Akron Shoes
I went to Macy’s at lunchtime today to look for new shoes for the wedding. I decided on some slick Bostonian shoes — the Akron model with Classic First/Flex design. They’re really comfortable, too, and I’m sure will go well with my tux. I pick them up tomorrow.
