Cultured

Two main events of past week - Louis C.K. live performance in Stamford (great!) and "Mad Men" Season 6 premier (awkward...).

Louis C.K., complaining about his bulk, said that the worst part of his day is when he has to put socks on.

In overripe Mad Men, each character became a caricature on its former self, with exception of joke-cracking Roger, who became Woody Allen (as astutely observed Leon).

Travelers

Last week, Max with his French class was in Quebec. Irene was at a conference in Monterey (by way of San Francisco).

Snowbird, Utah

Alik and I went to a short skiing trip to Snowbird, Utah. 

The views were spectacular and the 11K mountain kept us quite challenged.

Downstairs

Not to be outdone by Lord Grantham of Downton Abbey hiring of a new footman, we hired two new domestic staffers - Roomba and Mint.

Silent, well trained and discreet, they are absolutely marvelous.

Happy New Year

Nice Work If You Can Get It

We were in the first row, my seat was straight behind the conductor. The star of the show, Matthew Broderick, was looking into my eyes, smiling, winking... Only later, I came to realize that he was actually looking at the conductor...

Screen Tests by Max

Max continues experimenting with Lego animation techniques. The weapons theme is unfortunate, especially after Newtown, and we hope he is going to change that to something non-violent.

(Make sure the sound is ON, because his sound effects are even better than the animation)
