I love Memorial Day! I love the parades and the cookouts!!! I love everything about it. I was in the parade for years for different things from cub scouts to band. And since then I have been watching it from the sidelines from the A-plus location of the Maloy house which is right on the parade route!!! This year me and (e:mk) were even discusiing having some beers. I never drink at family or friend's family events even though I clearly drink every other day but it still seesm weird like I am a kid. But who knows......there better be big men with big hats in small cars, they were misssing last year and the parade just did not feel the same without them!@

Famiglia Cristiana and Nonna's HouseToday I went to my nonna's house that (e:paul) now owns and rents out. They are painting and cleaning it up before the new tenants move in. Anywho, it was the first time I had been there in a long time. I still really miss her a lot and it all came flooding back to me while I was in her house even though a lot of it looks different now.
She had saved like I would say I don't know roughly at least 500 issues of Famiglia Cristiana over the years. Like every issue ever made and now I am bringing them to be recycled. We saved a few what seemed like important issues but it is so weird that like she saved them her whole life every week and now they are all just going in the trash...well recycling bin..and actually the one at St. Paul's which is a fundraiser where they make money from the recycling. So I guess that is good, the Familglia Cristiana is at least helping out a church now....

Well now it is time to start the gossip. I think she and Simon got into it backstage and she beat him up and broke her nose in the process and the dog is a cover up. Or she and Simon are really an item and they do the fighting on air to hide that.

If they were Drug Operas instead of SoapSo in my process of trying to get rid of old school papers I started reading over tihngs. This was a presentation we had to do for a Biotechnology and Society honors class at Canisius. My group tried to make it more entertaining by making it a soap opera. I think I prolly forced everyone else into this idea as I loved soap operas and was taking a script writing class at the time. It was funny cuz we still had to make it a education presentation about the drug so i had to throw the science into the script.
By the by, I feel like typing the script here cuz I found it hilarious. Though I generally find tihngs I do hilairous (haha) so I'm sure most people won't read through it but there are lots of good parts...enjoy!
Ok so i started typing it and it is way too long. But bascially it is the story of a little boy with asthma and a shady doctor who kidnaps him to do drug trials. The boys parents tell his little sister (who had promised to always protect him) that he died while she was playing with his friends cuz he choked and she wasn't there to save him. (they thought it would be easier to handle than telling her he was kidnapped) The shady Dr. marries the head of a drug company but then gets divorced. The kid with Asthma, Christolph who is now 18 escapes and goes to a homeless shelter as he has nowhere to go. Vivianca, the shady dr.'s ex-wife, volunteers there 2 hours a week to make up for charging poor dying people millions for life saving drugs. Christolph and Vivanca fall in love but he can't tell her he has Alpha-1 protinease inhibitor deficiency hereditary ashtma because she talks about how she hates people with weakness. Meanwhile, Amanda , Christolph's sister has devoted her life to researching a cure for the disease she think killed her brother. She discovers it and brings th info to Vivianca who refuses to make ti saying they oculdn't make neough money on it since not enough people have it. Amanda convinces her they can sell it really expensively to the poeple cuz they really need it and so Amanda and Vivanca go out to celebrate. Christolph is there and after a brief wonderful reunion, when he finds out his sister is involved in charging millions for a life saving drugs he leaves them both and runs away again. Vivianca learns a lesson and creates a progaram where people can get the drug , Aralast for cheaper if they are poor and eveyrone gets reunited in happiness. Except Dr. Shady who goes to jail and is always "tested" on by his 400 lb. cellmate named Sharky.
The best part of it all though is that it really does have lots of infiomrations worked into it. I tink we got an A. It was really ridiculously cool. I will try and scan it in sometime.

I feel the same way. Everytime I go over I expect her to be in the kitchen but she isn't. Or that she will come out of the back bedroom.
The magazine collection is sad. Maybe if you haven't aleady brought them to saint paul's you should put them on Craig's list. It is the whole collection of like 20 years of the magazine.
However, those magazine's were not a Nonna thing. Do you ever remember seeing them after Nonno died? I think they were definately his thing, as was collecting everything. I think that is where mom and you got it from.
