What I Did This Weekend, The Short Version

The Ginger Ninja and I spent the weekend in Boston for a very happy reason — her brother (and my “brother from another mother”) Andy Ramoniac is getting married to his girlfriend Sue, and it was the meet-the-inlaws weekend. We flew to Beantown late Friday afternoon and high-tailed it from Logan to Smith and Wollensky’s downtown, where we were to have a meet-and-greet dinner with Andy and Sue, Wendy’s parents and Sue’s parents.

While waiting outside the restaurant, a cab pulled up to the front door and a couple emerged. I was about to inquire if they were Sue’s parents when Sue’s mom said “You must be Joey. I recognize you from your blog.”

I love living in the future very much.

It’s a busy day, so I’ll have to tell more about the weekend later. Let me just say that Sue’s parents are great people, but as I say, great kids come from great parents. Lovely meeting you this weekend!
