The Shallow End of the Pool

As a waiter down at the Jersey Shore, I am now officially in the busiest time of year, so my time is limited for the next two months. I will try to post as often as I can, but don't expect the next great American novel. Here's some random stuff.

One of my 53 cousins got married this past Monday. It was quite a grand shindig with fantastic food and a good time was had by all. Congrats again to him and his bride.

On the way back home from the wedding (which was followed the next day by a great 4th of July BBQ), I stopped and saw "The Devil Wears Prada." Some folks are dismissing this as a "chick flick." It's really not. I enjoyed it a great deal. It's not laugh-out-loud humor, but it is funny. Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep are both fantastic.

The Emmy awards were announced this week. Lots of surprises and omissions, but I won't go into detail today. Expect a more comprehensive look at this year's awards as we get closer to the ceremony in September.
