Sofia in Rome and the Vatican!

Mar 7,

This weekend our Sofifi did a flash trip to Rome and the Vatican, with her friends and college roommate. They went into the Colosseum and she got to see the sixteenth chapel.

Lacrosse!

Mar 6,

The lacrosse season is starting, and tonight Bella’s team had their first scrimmage. Of course Lionel and I were there. Even if the weather was rainy and not the best, we wouldn’t have missed it. We are happy to see her playing, we are happy to see her happy, and we are happy for her that just like she wanted, she made varsity.

Vail 2026

Mar 2,

One more Vail skiing trip in the books. We missed our Sofifi, but I was happy knowing that she was having some fun adventures of her own.

This has not been their best snow season, so we were worried that we would be skiing on grass, but it was not too bad. Except for the last day. By the afternoon the snow was definitely bad and it was a struggle getting back down. But regardless of the snow, we enjoyed the few days of much needed downtime.

Sofia in Switzerland!

Feb 28,

This weekend, while we were in Vail, Sofia went to Zermatt with some of her friends. She said it was beautiful, and had a great time, but also that she was definitely jealous of all the people with their skiing gear.

Officially 20!

Feb 24,

Today I got my celebratory “20” from my new manager, and went out for lunch to celebrate with some of my best friends from work. My friend Cheryl was supposed to come from Boston, but thanks to the blizzard over the weekend she was not able to make it. But we’ll have to celebrate at the end of next month, when I come to visit.

My 20th Anniversary!

Feb 21,

Today is my 20th Anniversary with P&G. It is easier said than done. There have been a lot of great experiences and memories, but also a heck of a lot of long days and really hard work.

Ahead of the weekend, my new team sent me a bunch of nice messages. A few of those below. 

There were times particularly in the last 6 months when I thought I would never make it here, so I am really celebrating it.

Lunch

Feb 21,

Abuelita wanted to try the Chinese restaurant right in the corner of Madison and Observatory, so we went.
