Madd Max Celebrate New Year's Eve

With a sibling and spouse dinner at Faubourg.

Followed by some fire pit time.

Complete with wild colors.  

Here's to a more mundane 2022!

Madd Max Does Some Visiting

2 hour walk around the park with Dr Kerry.

2 hour walk around Hoboken with Françoise.

Then home for a project with Clara.

While Max worked on his challah bread.

Walk around the park with the teen.  Jersey on the top, LA on the bottom.

Girls running the track.

A little lift.

Madd Max Get Detention?

One elementary school basketball court filled with desks in December.

Madd Max Hits Flat Rock Brook

King of the Stump.

It was a little muddy, but still quite nice.  Clara estimated there were 100 trees in the forest.  When Uncle Wills asked her if that seemed a little small, she modified her estimate to 145.

Clara also got some help on the hike from Uncle Wills.

Which made his oldest niece request the same.

Madd Max Celebrate 50 Years

Of Mimi and Dozee's marriage, seen here recreating the image of them walking down the aisle, just married.

Photo time outside of St Peters Prep.

Some grandchildren.

Some children.

Each of the 4 kids spoke about their parents and their parents' union before the ceremony.

Ant.

Wills.

Jess.

Greg.

Father Azzarto, one of the Jesuits from all of the boys' time at Prep, held the recommitment ceremony.

To 50 plus!  Thanks for doing that 50 years ago, and even more importantly, thanks for continuing and giving everyone in that room a strong, positive model to learn from.

And what better way to sum it all up than an Italian meal from Dante's.

Madd Max Has A Jersey Christmas

Cuddle time with Charlie.

Pre-present hang.

Starting with the youngest.

Not the youngest, enjoying the opening.

Shirts!

And of course, Christmas cookies, including gingerbread smores.

Madd Max Gets Some Jersey Food

The walk to Hot Bagels Abroad.

Cousins waiting for breakfast.

And for lunch, a visit with Leon with lunch from Fort Lee Pizzeria, the same place Jess would get lunch from on Saturdays during stage crew.  Today, her fav - penne vodka pizza.

Madd Max Heads South

But first, a walk around the neighborhood.

Of Kerri, Atti, Derek and Andre's new house.

A quick stop by the Milosavleski ladies.

Steven has moved to the East Coast and is working with Jess on Daisy, bi-coastally.  Conveniently, he moved onto the route btwn MA and NJ.

And in NJ, an Indian dinner with more fam.

Madd Max Heads East

Masked morning, where the fam actually got off the ground.  The flight directly after them was cancelled.

Arrival at the new Chez Ullucci-Michael.

Paloma in hand.

Punch and ziti.

Just parts of the homemade dinner the fam flew into.

A round of Codenames followed.

It was a focused game.  The ladies won.

Madd Max Munches

In-N-Out al fresco.

Yum.

And later, a fantastic dinner at Taisie's, followed by a round of Apples to Apples.
