first blogpost ever

what's up, ladies?

i've been on facebook a couple of times, but i don't get it.

las vegas, eh? i used those winnings to contribute to my super-styling wardrobe. but sadly, a couple of years later i went down to atlantic city during medical school, used the same scheme, and it backfired horribly. so at that time, i retired from the money wheel. i think my lifetime record is in the red.

it is snowing now. i want to go skiing.

i saw a hilarious sign as i was driving the other day: "bunghole liquors."

i will leave you with that pleasant thought.

quit your whining jim

yes jim. you were cool two years ago. but these days, especially after your tearful performance during your proposal gala speech, you have fallen.

some updates on the wedding front.

1. engagement party will be held in new york february 2nd. location is tribeca grill. invites to soon follow, but go ahead and mark your calendars.
2. wedding will be held in acapulco june 5th to 7th. feel free to come earlier in the week to just hang out. i expect to see all the holmdel boys dancing in front the donkey while wearing sombreros.
3. a special event will be held in vegas. date tba.

my new phew just celebrated his first birthday. arjun was in great form during brunch this past sunday. i think he'll do well at camp ernie and when he enrolls into the university of michigan.

i hope others will follow my lead and post messages on our blog.

I was cool two years ago!

Yes, I set this blog up in 2005 and Sanj put a comment in here or there, but it seemed to fizzle out to nothingness. Well, since I'm even cooler now that I'm on Facebook (and will soon rival Karen in number of friends...), I've decided to try to revive this since things are happening in our little group.

"San-joy Bulgaria" is finally engaged! Chandra picked a good one, folks...And who would have ever thought he would be the Groomzilla he is. It screams reality show. Definitely Amazing Race. Maybe Beauty and the Geek. Looking forward to February, June, and whenever the Las Vegas extravaganza happens. Brose, sharpen up your money wheel skills.

For the record: I did not cry during my speech at the proposal party.

Lots of baby news: Val, Liwanag, Leslie, YBC#2 = More Camp Ernie attendees. Lots of gene pool mixing. It's fun to put our respective children in a play pen and watch what happens. Ava and Julia recently mixed it up with Taylor this past Saturday. Seemed to get along just fine. Canasta tournament next time.

Our trip to Holmdel was brief, but nice to see the Chens, The Bagaria-Golans, and Alex, though briefly. Everyone seemed tired/slightly sick/exhausted. I think the consensus is that we all work way too hard.

Christmas/New Year's plans? Ernie, any chance you'll be out east anytime soon?

I'll leave you all with a question, borrowed from the Proposal Gala - please fill in the blanks:

"I realized Sanjay and Karen were a couple when...."

...Sanjay stopped taking solo "self-discovery" pilgrimages to Japan. What did he do on those long walks alone in the country dressed as a monk, anyway?? (Jim)
