Hello. I just got a letter from the New Jersey Department of the Treasury. I owe thirty-two hundred bucks! What the heck?! My accountant dropped the ball on that one. That's thirty-two hundred bucks I could have used for something cool, like a hot tub or strippers or a hot tub full of strippers. I'M NOT MADE OF MONEY NEW JERSEY, DO YOU HEAR ME, I'M NOT MADE OF MONEY!!! Wait a second -- It's only thirty-two bucks, oops. I love NEW JERSEY!

I had a bittersweet evening last night. My friend Tiffany is moving one town over. I had to stop by to return my keys. She still works here so I'll see her often but still, I don't like change. Here's Tiffany in the middle of a big move:

Goodbye, Tiffany!

That brings the count of good friends in Hoboken, where I could walk over and 'kick it' for a few hours, down to zero. My good friend Jeff moved to LA about 5 or 6 years ago, those were some good times. Sitting on the sofa, no money, drinking beer and playing cards. But I'm not giving up, I'm still meeting new people, that's a good thing. YOU HAVEN'T BEATEN ME YET HOBOKEN, YOU HAVEN'T WON!!! A lot of shouting in today's diary.

My nephew Lucas had his first communion this past weekend. Way to go Lucas! My brother George sent me this photo of the gang:

Bob's nephews/niece

How cute are the kids? I was in Steubenville but couldn't make it because it started at 1:30. That would have put me back in Hoboken around 4 am. Anyway, I love that photo. That was the 'pose nice for daddy' shot. This is the 'do whatever the hell you want' shot:

Free-for-all

Ha ha! Check out little Max, he doesn't know what the hell to do! Oh, God bless the kids.

That's it! Have a great day.

Sincerely your internet friend,

Bob
