It was also Ray Squared’s birthday party and the big FOUR OH for the red-headed Ray Lillie. The couple known as Ray and Ray have both of their actual birthdays on July 3 (as well as sharing a name). July 3 was when I had my birthday party this year, which they attended, even though my actual birthday is the day before.
My friend Aaron is going to Holland for an internship for his Ph.D. in chemistry so he had a going away party last weekend. There was great food, great music and a lot of fun people with a good mix of gay and hetero folks in San Leandro.
Some dancing (that I actually participated in)!
Glad it’s not raining as I heard was predicted; heading to party in Berkeley for the beginning of another new decade.
Lots of Calabrese dialect spoken and lots of cigarette smoking at cousin Antonio’s wedding for a very short marriage he had.
Birthday party at my mom’s house in Hayward (she’s in Italy at this time):
