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)
