    USNA Sailboats

    My son had a very similar report - Stamford YC (got a kick out of riding around in the host family's Ferrari), host family four story house, at the helm when the storm hit - they must have been in the same group of boats in first block. I didn't hear any septic tank stories! I don't know if they...

    Best Thanksgiving side dish and why....

    We are foodies at our house but go back to our upbringing for Thanksgiving, so my favorite is sweet potatoes mashed with butter, cinnamon and brown sugar with the minimarshmallows on top. It tastes as good as cake. The only thing I ate two helpings of today. Funny how we eat such things once...

    Your Favorite Cookbook and Why

    My favorite was a Christmas present when we were fairly newly married - Julia Child's The Way to Cook. I like to call it "The Way, the Truth and the Life." Always felt a connection with Julia because her husband Paul and I were both Foreign Service Officers and we also lived in Paris plus...

    Cmon

    I think 168 days between hugs will be better than what I got from him in high school! Seriously if I try to calculate it! He never left us so he never hugged us. Though I tried when I went on weekend trips, etc. But since he is leaving and arriving he has to play dutiful son - he gave me a big...
