Father’s Day 2025

 Jun 15,

Our Sofifi could not be here for this one, but we enjoyed the memories and Bella and I held the fort and celebrated Lionel on father’s day

Mental Health Time

Jun 14,

Cheryl and I have had some particularly stressful weeks, so this week we took a bit of mental health time. We also used it as a time to remove items from my Boston bucket list. So we went to the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum one afternoon. And we gave ourselves a “beach day” at Rockport, which I have visited before but she had not. Bella did not want to go to the museum but happily tagged along to go to Rockport, which is one off my favorite coastal towns. I will miss being able to go there but have great memories of being there with my faves.

Pickleball Tournament - Day 1

Jun 9,

Cheryl and I signed up for a 4 week pickleball tournament right next to work. Our flight back from Cincinnati got delayed, so we barely made it back on time. It was so tight, that I had to drop Bella off for her to play the first game on my behalf while I tried to park.

New Cincinnati Home

Jun 8,

This weekend we did a flash trip to Cincinnati to look for a house. The Cincinnati market is super challenging right now, and while I would have loved to be right in Hyde Park, the few houses for sale were simply not the right ones for us. So we ended up buying a house in East End, a neighborhood pretty much next door to Hyde Park. The house is new, and modern, and with plenty of light. And it has views of the river and downtown.

For Sale

Jun 5,

Our house is now officially for sale. Just a few photos of how nice and clean it looks.

Goodbye Worcester Academy

Jun 4,

Today was Bella’s last day of school. Those last few weeks were very challenging, but she never has to go back there again. Her and Izzy are done with those kids.

Labor day week

May 30,

Sofia was in Boston with us this week. The original plan was to just work Tuesday-Thursday mornings, and hang out with her the rest of the time. But since we now needed to get the house ready for sale, we ended up sorting and cleaning, and taking stuff out to donate most of the time. We still had a lot of school supplies that we brought from Cincinnati, that Bella and I painstakingly sorted to donate to a local school. Sofia cleaned her room, and we removed a lot of decorations and personal items to put them away for now.

On Thursday night we were supposed to go see Shakira at Fenway, the one fun activity we had planned way ahead of time. Unfortunately the concert got canceled just a few hours before it was supposed to start, but we didn’t find out until we were pretty much there. We took the green line to Fenway, had dinner at a food hall, walked around for a bit, and came back.

One afternoon we did make the time to go to the Commons and walk around Newbury street, and to close out the week Sofia and I went to Beacon Hill.
