Good Weekend, Good News

We had a great weekend, full of both relaxing and invigorating things. But first, some exciting news... Jeremy's sister Jenn and brother-in-law Luis had a baby boy on Saturday! Baby Alex was born in Germany, where they live, so we won't get to meet him for awhile, but both Alex and Jenn are doing great. Photos will be forthcoming. In other great news, I just found out I got an interview for a job I'm really interested in - yea! I'll report more next week if it goes anywhere.

OK, back to the weekend. Some highlights...

* We had dinner at a lovely French restaurant called Jolie with my college roommate Jay and his wife Leah, who were recently married and live in The Tri-State Area, so we hope to see them a lot! Jay likes ketchup, as you can see.

* We took our bikes out for the first time and rode down to Prospect Park. The 1.1 miles on city streets on the way there were quite harrowing (for me, Jer is tougher), but biking on the closed roads in the park was great.

* Our friend Mike had a great birthday bash on Saturday, and the theme was "Cowboys!" Yippee-i-ay and kudos to Mike and Arianne for the great time.

* We went to the MoMA, twice... Jer gets in free with his Pratt ID, and I got an individual membership, which has almost paid for itself with two visits. Jer had to see five different shows as part of a school assignment (see photo below of Jer watching some very modern art, as the name of the place suggests). As were were leaving the first day, we realized we could check out MoMA's new VanGogh show (exploring painting the night and light) on the first "members only" preview night - ooh la la. It was a great show, and it was amazing to see so many masterpieces up close with few people in the gallery. Membership has its privileges.
