	Things to do in Rincon John tries a pick up line on a local Puerto Rican native.  It didn't work and John fell off the board shortly thereafter.
Back To Work John is back in the saddle after his New Mexico hiatus with the great George Martin.  John has worked on a few movies in the past two weeks, including one with Natalie Portman, New York I Love You, and for the next six weeks he will be driving this truck for a movie entitled "Motherhood" starring Uma.  This is an electrical truck complete with a giant generation mounted behind the cab, and in front of the box.
	Family Get Together Family get together at Tricie's was a fun time as Ronnie Danny and Jill along with Avery visited for the weekend of May 3rd. Johnny, Rita, Teddy and Liz stopped by.  Avery looks great and is a lot of fun to play with. Sunday was even better as little Ted and his crew came by.
Doctor Sica Prescribes Relief The Tiki Bar hosted the Ranger - Penguin series and John had to provide relief by prescibing  7 millimeters of Jameson's Irish Whiskey every 40 minutes, and 10 millimeters of Jack Daniels as needed.  Danny, Burto, Tuna, Tom Ford, Tom Ford Jr., Greg Tracey, Greg's friend, Ohagan and Trish were on hand at various times.

	Rita and John Escape to New Hampshire Lake Taking advantage of the late summer, John and Rita enjoyed two splendid days on an undisclosed lake in early October.  The temperatures were in the 80's and the leaves were colorful.  John's friend Roy was gracious enough to lend John and Rita his lake front house.  Some amusing moments were when the Garmin GPS Navigator sent them down a mountain road that was right out of a Jeep commerical for two miles of rock climbing and swamp driving.  John rooting for the Yankees in some New England bars didn't go over too well either, but it was all in good nature.  For more pictures click here: New Hampshire
Vegas Baby! Trish, Kenny, Brian, John and Rita escaped to Vegas for five days in September.  John and Rita won some nice change and a good time was had by all.  The pools were great, roller coasters, gambling, partying, etc.  For more pictures click here: Vegas '07

Mikey ponders his future far from the beach.

August 10, 2007 Summer Work Finally Over! If you've been wondering where I've been, if I've left the country or what, you are close to right.  This summer I've been working on a film for HBO called "Taking Chance".  With 16 hour days on average I was gone for half of the volleyball season and other important events.  Such as my 50th birthday, and my 27th wedding anniversary.  Tiki activity was at a halt as well as Rockaway Sands Casino card games.  But I am happy to report I am back to enjoy whatever summer days are left.
	Yankees - Orioles at Camden. Sean, Mikey and John went to Baltimore to see the Yanks lose a tough one against the Orioles.  It was a great time anyway, Sean's first trip to Camden.  The Yankees had a late rally to make it close, but the big story was A-Rod failed to hit number 500 for us.  He was on deck when the game ended.
Trish Graduates Stoney Brook! In a quick and beautiful ceremony, Trish graduated with a Bachelor of Science after four years of hard work and parties.  For more pictures from the ceremony and the subsequent Tiki party click here:  Trish

Quote of the Day: to fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.   Betrand Russell For more quotes click here: Quotes	Daily Reading Don't have time to attend mass?  Take a few minutes to read the gospel. April 16th Gospel Jn 12:44-50 Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in the one who sent me, and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me. I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness. And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words has something to judge him: the word that I spoke, it will condemn him on the last day, because I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So what I say, I say as the Father told me.”

Saratoga Jazz Festival 30th Anniversary SPAC June 23, 2007- After a long hiatus from the festival, John and Rita headed back to the Jazz Fest for a great weekend of friends and music.  Louie's brother Dave graciously welcomed some of the festival goers into his beautiful home.  The music of Jean Luc Ponte, Tower of Power and others was the background for the usual madness.  The group of 15 representing the SI Boyz, the Burnouts and the Upstate Crew partied all day and night.  The weather was perfect and the beer was cold.  Danny and Ivy also made a return appearance after a long hiatus.  For more pictures click here: Saratoga 07
