People Like Us (2012)
A Friday night, a date night no less, and we needed something to do. Optimally, we wanted to catch a nice dinner at a local restaurant, catch a movie, and pick up the kids before 11pm. Always a challenge. We … Continue reading

A picture of my current home office setup

A 60th birthday party
Last Saturday evening, we had to get ready for a 60th birthday party. Who was turning 60? Our friends Sandhya & Vijay — not them — but their mother. The surprise birthday party was being held at their relative’s house, … Continue reading
A baptism in the Bronx
Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to live in the city again, and then I take a trip to the city, and remember how much I like the suburbs in comparison. Early Saturday morning, we dressed up … Continue reading
Our Idiot Brother (2011)
Friday night, the kids are in bed, the cats are running around like maniacs, and two wine glasses of Australian Sweet Justice Moscato. Sounds like it’s time for a movie night. Looking for a dumb-but-enjoyable comedy, my wife found Our … Continue reading
