The First (Irregular) TJA Software Alumni…

…Get-Together And Talk About Everyone Who Didn’t Make It Party was great fun!

Attending were Jeff, Golnaz (who came up with the idea, and we are all much obliged!),
Jeff and Golnaz (click on the picture for the full-size version), Dave, Rich, Dave and Rich, and Brian, Your Humble Blogger, who was not quite flexible enough to be both in front of and behind the camera at the same time. Maybe some of Golnaz’s pix will come out. (I apologize for the quality of the pictures, I’m a crappy photographer.)

Great time catching up with each other, and reminiscing about the Good Old Days. Rest assured, if you weren’t there, we did talk about you, so you’d just better make it to the next one!

Weee are the champions, my friends!

Congrats to Damon and the whole Juventus U-17 team for winning the 2005 State Cup!

Red Sox Nation!

Thursday, October 28th, 2004

Woo-hoo! Go Sox!

I still can’t believe it. Man, 86 years. For some perspective, my grandfather (‘Poppy’ – not to be confused with ‘Papi’ – go Ortiz!) was 14 when the Sox last won the series, the age Gabe is now.

There was a big flu epidemic, and our troops were fighting overseas (then it was Europe in WWI), so some things stay the same.

There was no TV, but about 2/3 of the country had radios. No NFL, no NBA, (basketball was only 26 years old), movies were silent, Albert Einstein was 39, and Wyatt Earp was still alive. Women weren’t allowed to vote yet.

I remember cool summer nights in the late sixties and early seventies, when I would sleep out in a tent in the backyard, listening to the Red Sox on a transistor radio. Ned Martin would be calling the plays – the names I remembered – Yaz, Rico Petrocelli, Tony Conigliaro, Sparky Lyle. Now my kids will remember Johnny Damon, Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez.

See you again in 2090!

Happy Birthday Damon!

Damon is 17 today, and you know what that means – R-rated movies. Ben got him The Matrix. We got him car keys. Not a car, just keys.

‘Dangerous’ Damon Casiello

Thursday, September 23rd, 2004

The Ayer Public Spirit wrote up an article on the Burncoat vs Groton Dunstable HS soccer game last week. Damon is described as ‘dangerous senior striker Damon Casiello’. Heh. Meesa tink he’ll be likin’ dat.

Happy Birthday JP

It’s John Paul‘s 21st Birthday today!

So, everybody buy him a beer!

Wait, what am I saying?!? No, *don’t* everybody buy him a beer!

Well, how about this? Everybody chip in and buy him *one* beer. There, that should do it. Oh, and a cake.

Happy Birthday!

(Gaah! Now there’s going to be two of these on the same page!)

Happy Birthday Andy
