Day after Mom's 86th Birthday Lunch and Ian's dinner

Lunch was good. Andrea mentioned a student , boy who curses too much in class, said to father "What the hell..."
To Marco: I have a book , what kind, with words.
Not too much traffic, Carlo drove to Williamsburg before peachfrog 11am open
salvation army ( M bought green shirts, I a sopranos baseball shirt, an armani blue dress ahirt and a 3rd which I cannot recall.
Next to Peachfrog. M got a couple pair of boots and Carlo some shirts wearable to work.

Drive to Ian's was long but thankfully uneventful. GPS went out in a couple of spots but reconnected quickly. Arrived just as Doug Cronin did.
What a spread of food. Brought panettone as a gift, no sense opening it.
Ian and wife had some disconnected banter about sliders and beer.
Sarah's sister ( never caught her name but Sara prim teacher vs. sister bleach blonde and her husband with many visible tattoos ) made cookies like 2 gingerbread people one giving oral sex to the other. Cute little plastic appetizer forks flashed and a cream cheese /cranberry coated spread that looked like a horse phallus, Ian said only one third was out.
Met interesting people: Mary, also a teacher , special ed. ( married to (college?) PR guy , her and Sara's sorority mate Bernadette, an Ithaca college Italian restaurant manager. Nice smile maybe a match for Doug. Doug got call to pick up a Jets ticket for today. Heated discussion about Football, Mara=New England fan in Philadelphia, Bernadette a Giants fan as is M and Ken ( rutgers shirt, works with Ian ) who had to move car as we left.
