Tues notes


Tuesday Baby: Fletcher was born to Vera and Josh on 12/1/12 at 9:25AM Eastern. 4 lbs 12 oz and 18 1/4 inches long. Welcome!

Please note your humble website got several babies behind in announcements. Apologies! If you want to remind me with a link to your little one, I'll add.

Get your Tuesday-Approved Fortune, brought to you by a bunch of drunken diners circa 1996 (i.e. us) and the typing of Ant & Reb.

Tuesday Baby: Kira Rebecca! Born to John and Rebecca on January 23, 2006, 4:31pm, 19" long, and 8lbs-1oz.

Stylin' Joe put on the Hunnert Car Pileup for a decade.

It's...Lily Sky! Another Tuesday child, born to Rebecca and Anthony on September 11, 2005. More pictures featuring the Lovely Lily can be found on Anthony's photo album page.

Announcing the arrival of another Tuesday Baby! Arjun was born to Pam and Amit on June 22, 2005.

John and Rebecca's Jakoozi Web site features many Tuesday related items, with links such as Cookbook, Wedding Pictures and Tuesday Night Pictures.

The wedding of Ant & Reb (from various points of view) and the honeymoon are on Anthony's photo album page.

Also see the Anthony and Rebecca nuptials (who knew that's how it's spelled?!) through Janet's camera.

If you need plants, Ken's your man!

Great expectations await a lucky winner. Lucas was born at 8:12pm 2/21/03, making that lucky winner ... Stylin' Joe! And, of course, congrats to John & Rebecca!

John H., who declares: Tuesday Night Dinner shall be at my abode. The spirit of saturday night fever flows through the new travolta mug (thanks senior botok!) and into the food that I am preparing. God I am sorry for all of you... (short film #582: "Tuesday Night Fever"...) One minor note, we are going to have to wrap up things right at 11pm due to an egregious error I made last weekend. Made the brilliant move of forgetting to turn down the volume on my stereo before going out. So when the alarm kicked off at 1am, it blasted a cacophony of german noise music throughout the apartment for about an hour until I got back, and needless to say I am in a very bad way with my building manager who lives above (& most likely every tenant on this side of the building god help me). To accomodate for the earlier/strict departure time please feel free to show up at 7:30pm. ... If you need directions, I live in a bucket.

Catherine the Great. Introduced by the inimitable Antoine...
Greetings and Hellllloooooooooo,
Just an early warning.
Catherine (of Boston fame, you know, she's been coming to Tuesday Dinner for a while, usually with Joe? No? Well just read on and shut up) will be hosting Tuesday Dinner next week (2/24).
Originally she was going to have it at her place, however as she vehemently proclaims, "My roommate is being a freaking baby." And also states, "it will be at Joe's apartment." This particular tidbit has been confirmed, "yeah", responds Joe. So here is the address: [some lines removed for your safety]
Meanwhile, Catherine announces, "Use my cell phone number so people can call with what they want to bring." And also, "I am making dinner, of course, and a dessert. So just the usual stuff that people want to bring."
To which Joe hastily adds, "Catherine said she'd field calls on what to bring, but she won't know how to give directions, so any lost people can call me." He also comments, "...I think she took Tues off, so any day-of questions will have to be asked via phone or email me, I guess."
Catherine summarizes, "I am excited!"
Joe summarizes, "I guess I need to clean then."
Catherine: "I... have...grown to hate my roommate"
Joe: "...I don't have many chairs."
Anthony: "Tuesday Marauders...could cause psychological trauma."
Joe: "...such a big group and laid out weird...."
Catherine: "Highly allergic...cat...sniffles."
Anthony: "I was temporarily insane."
Catherine: "have a pleasant weekend!!!!!!!!"
