05/09/09 Started this morning by visiting my friends Liba and Andrea. They both work at the Czech Embassy which was hosting an Open House and they were dressed in traditional costume.  Great to see them as they are both very cool and funny. Liba had stayed out too late the night before and was hurting a bit.  Not that you could tell.  Andrea had her grandmother with her. It was a little early to start drinking but who can turn down a free Pilsner Urquell or two?

I left the lovely Czechs abuptly though because I had to make it to my nephew Declan’s 1st Holy Communion at Blessed Sacrament Church.  He looked snazzy in coat and tie.  That’s him below with his friend whispering in his ear.  He told me he thought he looked “like the guy in “Burn Notice.”

My sister Kelly hosted a party at her house for Dec’s celebration which was a lot of fun because my nieces and nephews were all running around like crazy and lots of friends were on hand as well. Soon, however, it was time to gird my loins and throw on the tuxedo for the annual White House Correspondent’s Dinner which is the glitzist bash in DC every year. I’ll make a separate posting for those pix.
