Congrats to my Dad

Congrats to Jeff Sr. who had a major victory tonight at the County Democratic Party Caucus. After being elected Democratic Committee Chair he became involved in a pretty heated political battle with some folks who aren't playing too nicely. But the people of the county showed their support for him and his group, and backed 6 out of the seven candidates he put forward. Nice job Dad!

(Now the man just needs to get caught up on his golf game before his sons, daughter, and even daughter in law catch up to his skills!)

Crazy Couple of Weeks!

As I mentioned in a previous post, the past couple of weeks I've been in RA Training. Part of the training was a Photo Scavenger Hunt. Here are some of the pics that my RAs took:

All 12 (Lindsey and Jamie are trying to peek over the wall)

Gleason Residence Hall and in the windows J-E-F-F

Ok, this one needs a story. One of the things to accomplish was to take a pic of was the staff with our Asst. VP, Dr. Heath and you got bonus points if he was wearing a Residence Life shirt. Well, Dr. Heath wasn't wearing one, but Jeff was. So, how else do you solve this problem than have Jeff in his undershirt in the middle of the cafeteria? :-) Don't know if you can see the brilliant shade of red I'm turning.

From right to left in the pic above, the names of the Gleason staff this year are Mike, Nicole (sitting), Kyle, Liz, Angie, Asst. VP Dr. Heath, Prajna, Jamie, Chris, and Joe. Missing are R.J. and Lindsey.

Jeff Sr.'s Birthday

Finally! Happy Birthday to my dad who celebrated the big day on August 18th. My mom got him a variety of good wine and we got him a Starbucks Gift Certificate. Also celebrated with some sparklers purchased in good ol' New Hampshire!

A little father/son help there.

Happy Birthday Dad!

Craziness

Still alive! Look forward to pictures from my Dad's Birthday (August 18th), RA Training, and other Spain craziness:-)

Passing Away of a Good Family Friend

Our family friend, Mary Curley, has passed away. She and my family became pretty close through my mom's work. On Tuesday she passed away. When reading this, please give a few seconds to remember her and all those we've lost in our lives. Thanks...

Tigers sweep the Red Sox!

Had a great time watching the Tigers on a beautiful but hot day.



If you read next to the line score when you click on the picture above, the temperature says 90 degrees! Some radio reports said it got as hot as 95 on the field. We had a great time though!

Tigers's Win!
