Whole heartedly agree with all of these from my friend Naomi Accardi

FWIW [my wife] and I got married within 5 weeks after getting engaged, and our little 13-people ceremony in my village in the south of France, in the middle of February, has been a much better memory than a costly-ordeal-to-“please”-hundreds-of-people-whom-we-hadn’t-seen-or-connected-with-in-recent-years would have been.

We’re about to enter our 9th year together, and 7th year of marriage, and now have a wonderful 2yo daughter who keeps us on our toes 😆 🐣 👩‍❤️‍👨

🏡 🇫🇷 Super excited to wake up to this article about our home and neighboring town in The Times today!

A man and a woman with a dog stand by a cobblestone path next to a river, surrounded by trees, with a bridge in the background.

Greater Paris is born, reconfiguring the city. (…) The east (…) [side] has risen, turning the banlieue from Pantin to Romainville into cool, desirable areas. (…) The action is no longer on the Seine River — it is on a 200-year-old canal, the Ourcq.

Attended my very first Baltimore Orioles game

5/29/24

What a game to attend!

It all started when local friends of ours let us know they could get us good tickets. We went together, only to realize we were sitting 2 rows above the Baltimore Orioles' clubhouse (🤯). Despite the risk of rain, we arrived early, were able to snuck in the (folded) stroller, and sat in our seats.

It was incredible to see the level of talent and athleticism in person, live in the stadium. The speed at which the pitchers throw the ball is incomprehensible, especially taking into account the distance and precision they need to reach the zone. And the ability of a batter to analyze a pitch and try to hit the ball is a real feat.

But the highlight came when our star Gunnar Henderson absolutely blew the roof off Camden Yards with that second-inning grand slam, turning a 1–1 nail-biter into a 5–1 Orioles party and you could feel the sweep-avoiding energy flip instantly. And the fact that slam was Gunnar’s 50th career homer just made it feel like one of those “we’re watching a superstar era” nights for O’s fans.

Grateful to have seen and witnessed it, along with seeing our ace Corbin Burnes shoving for seven sharp innings. It felt like Boston never really had a way back into the game.
