Week Roundup

Following the fun weekend I had a very fun week! On Tuesday, my friend's Kelly and Celia had their recital for the improv class they'd been taking for the last seven weeks. This was their second class, so they are pretty much experts at that point. They were so funny! I think I can be funny but improv is challenging because you have to be able to think fast on your toes. The host asks for audience suggestions and they have to immediately go from there.



There's a shot of Kelly. I'm very impressed with her!

On Wednesday I met up with my Dad's good friend Richard "Pitch" Picciotto He was in town giving a speech. He was the highest ranking Fire Fighter to be pulled out of the World Trade Center when it collapsed. He wrote a book about his experience "Last Man Down" which was a NY Times Best Seller. (http://www.kepplerspeakers.com/speakers.aspx?name=Richard+Picciotto) I heard his speech when he spoke at Siena back when I was the speaker's chair. It's very inspirational.
On Wednesday night I met Pitch and the group at Boone Hall Plantation. It was cool because we got to tour the house and plantation. There was an open bar and a very delicious dinner. There was also bands and dance groups. We had a lot of fun and the weather was beautiful.

Pitch said these were the best oysters he's ever had.


Also this week, we received a notice in the mail that the show "Army Wives" would be taping in our front yard. Way to ask permission, right? But my roommate and I took the opportunity to be nice and nosy and the crew didn't mind. We got to see a scene be shot (it took forever) and poke around in one of the houses they tape in. It was pretty interesting. They even paid us $100 to use our driveway over night. Here's some pictures I took-







We didn't know who that woman was, but we figured she must be famous because someone was following her with an umbrella



Pretending I'm famous hehe
