Happy New Year to '83

Like most resolutions at this time of year, I had hoped this post would have been flashier, more dramatic...MEMORABLE.

Alas, this post is one of those that has to sink in, and is slow to take hold and even then usually at some personal low point.  Take my dinner guest of a few days ago, Ben Davis.  Two years ago he weighed 350 lbs, then his grandma asked him if he was happy - he wasn't so he did something about it...he ran...and ran.  It's a good story and Ben has chronicled it at bendoeslife.com. He's a good guy too.

So now I'm running the treadmill a few times a week.  I'm happy, but still fat.  Here's hoping you reach your milestones in 2012.  Just take it one step at a time...

Jesus, Mary and Chris Davey

Seasons Greetings!!!

Tis the season

DA students go on break today. Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Head of School visit

That's Head of School at Fairfield Country Day School (Happy 75th Birthday FCDS!) to you.  John Munro was on a Choate to Suffield to Deerfield drive getting to know the Admission Offices and trumpeting the skills of his applicants.  Always a treat to show an 83er around his old stomping grounds and talk a little shop.

Eric says Beat Choate!

Visiting the newly sodded fields less than 24 hours before Choate Day, Eric hopes to see you if you are on campus for the festivities!  Some areas are still dirt, some are seeded.  Don't forget you can watch the football game online by clicking here starting at 1 pm tomorrow.  BEAT CHOATE!
