September 2006

  • Three alumni attended the chicken parm dinner. Which is more than zero, anyway.
  • Gavin Olender is in Munich and enjoying himself. He can’t see the Yankee games on television, though. Useless damned country, if you ask me. If you’re not going to let your people watch Yankee games, you know what?: “Mr. Gorbachev, put that wall back up!”
  • Joe Cuda and Lina have set their wedding date and place: August 25th, 2007, in Virginia.
  • Josh Beckett’s ERA is 5.01. If he doesn’t make another start, I win.
  • Jason Haarman’s second daughter, Rachel Antonia Haarman, was born on June 14, 2006. Jason recently received a promotion. His previous job was Homer Simpson, and his new job is Mr. Burns. Tammy has started a business making gift baskets and 20-month-old Paige is a jabberjaw who has her own room with a toddler bed and fights when Jason tries to put her to sleep. I believe I got that straight. Unless 20-month-old Paige is making gift baskets and Tammy is a jabberjaw who fights whenever Jason tries to put her to sleep.
  • Eric “Spanky” Park and his wife, Kris, hosted their second poker tournament and many Pi Lams were in attendance. Only one Pi Lam made a profit. I think it was unfair, because I went all in on a pair of fives and somebody else had a pair of sixes.
  • Jamie Howland recently hosted a Labor Day barbecue. George Ramos was unable to attend because he chose to drive from Montreal to Toronto so he could watch the “Lord of the Rings” musical. Don’t fear, undergrads. One day, you may graduate and be as cool as Pi Lam alumni.
  • Chris Blain is “leaving the grid,” in his own words: “The time has come for me to leave the confines of and. At the end of September, I’ll be leaving the land locked life in Sausalito behind and I’ll be moving on to the boat.”
  • All alumni are invited to the following rush event. The actives are correct when they claim that alumni have superior cooking abilities. I should treat them to my world famous mango chicken / banana flufee surprise: “On Wednesday, September 20th at 6pm there will be the first ever Pi Lam Alumni Rush Chicken Parm Dinner. What are looking for some alumni to cook since some of you have superior cooking abilities. We have had a few volounteers so far for that position. Otherwise we just want you to come and eat and chat with freshmen. Tell them why you love the house, how it helped you in life, and what makes it ‘not 4 years, but a lifetime.’ If you are interested in participating in the event, please let me know at least a week ahead of time so we can have enough food.”
