Kate and Brian's Wedding 8/6/2011
We celebrated the marriage of our friends Kate Mulaney and Brian Patterson in beautiful Napa, CA. A picture perfect day for a perfect wedding at Church Hill Manor.
Back on the Diet
I dropped my weight from 188lbs in late October 2010 to 170lbs in early February. A great feat, but I've been at a standstill ever since vacation in BVI.
I now fluctuate between 169lbs and 175lbs. I want to drop my weight further to 160lbs. My ideal weight, according to the charts, is 154lbs at 5'8". That is to thin for me, so 160lbs it is.
Now what to do?
I need to:
* work out judiciously,
* keep my daily calorie "average" daily count at 1,800 (not such a hard feat),
* drink lots of water (2 liters daily)
I want to accomplish this by Memorial Day weekend. I'll keep you posted.

Resiliency Project - Child Abuse Awareness Exhibit
The following CBS News link discusses the "child abuse awareness exhibit" shown at Daley Plaza on March 31, 2011. The exhibit is called the "Resiliency Project", and is exemplified with an interview of a sexually abused girl and her mother. I am proud to have served an active role in this exhibit, which has heightened visibility and awareness to this cause.
10 Year Anniversary Celebration - Mardi Gras Gala
Chicago Children's Advocacy Center celebrated 10 successful years of helping children and their families who have experienced child abuse. We are the first part of the child abuse healing process, and have helped over 20,000 child abuse victims. A crowd of 400 attended the event held at the Chicago Cultural Center on Mardi Gras Day; Tuesday 3/8/2011. The festivities included a funtastic Mardi Gras parade featuring the Lincoln Park HS Band playing "When The Saints Go Marching In". The audience participated by waving white napkins. A great time for all.

Sailing Trip - British Virgin Islands
"Racing to Relax in BVI".
Our group chartered a 63' single hull sail boat and toured the British Islands. Captain Andy ensured comfortable sailing, spectacular snorkeling, and balmy evenings in quiet coves. Hostess Lisa provided 5-Star meals and endless cocktails. The islands, formed by volcanos, provided amazing scenery and plenty of sites to explore. A wonderful trip that I recommend to all.
