Sherrie & Marty’s 50th


We should all be this lucky. I’ll be 88 if I make it this far, so god-willing, it will happen for Amy and I as well! All the Handelman kids gathered to throw a party for Marty and Sherrie at Eric and Amy’s lovely place on Saturday – and a great time was had by all. What a spread! Overnight french toast from Julie, my attempt at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon quiche (the secret – a really deep shell and long slow cooking) as well as all the usual other brunch fare combined to induce a coma by the afternoon.

Iranian Protests in the ATL

Leaving work after coming in to finish a presentation on a Saturday, a huge crowd had gathered outside CNN Center to raise awareness of the increasingly violent response to election protests in Tehran. I snapped a few images before heading home.
