The Sicilians

Last week Dennis went to his high school reunion and met up with his friend, Sam Lupo, who was there with his wife, Mary Lee. They had a great time reminiscing about their high school and college days. It turned out that Sam and Mary Lee knew some of the same family and friends who I grew up with. In short, Mary Lee contacted Margarita and Joe Lo Medico, owners of Venice Pizza and long-time friends from the Sicilian community, and set up a dinner for last night.

We (Dennis, Mom and I) met the Lupos at Venice for dinner and had a great time talking about the old days. We expect to see more of them and the Lo Medicos in the future. As an aside, we found out the Lupos were in Sicily around the same time we were. Small, small world. I should have taken pictures. Darn.


Movie Tuesday

I know it's a little late, but we did go to the movies last Tuesday. The movie was Prisoners with Hugh Jackman, Terrence Howard, Jake GyllenhaalMelissa LeoPaul Dano, and Maria Bello. This was a very dark movie. I didn't care for the storyline, but I have to admit it was gripping.
