Wow! Well, it has been a week to remember... I spent time in Washington DC with the SEC presenting for the Society of Corporate Secretaries and Governance Professionals... managed to get a whole heck of a lot of work done and also had a birthday and Father's Day. Yikes! Talk about packing it all in.
Here are more pictures from our trips to Nevada... you can see the #8 train:

The trip to DC went very well and I managed to accomplish quite a bit on the networking/work front. I think that my presentation may also have had an impact on the SEC as they indicated that they would be reconsidering a prior position and making a determination shortly. So, let's hope that they side with what I was advocating.
I got back on Friday to a flurry of work. It has been just crazy at work and I'm hoping that things calm down once the Board and shareholders meetings are done.
Friday night, Al and I got to go out for a nice dinner and one of my co-workers babysat for Luke. We went to Restaurant Alma www.restaurantalma.com which is currently a nominee for a regional James Beard award. Exciting stuff. The dinner was absolutely phenomenal. We had the tasting meal and it was simply divine. I had the nettle souffle, masa corn crepes and the halibut. Al had the coppacciola ham, orechette and pork tenderloin. For dessert, Al got the coconut macadamia ice cream sandwich and I had the Greek yogurt panna cotta. Amazing meal!
Today is Father's Day, so happy father's day to all dads out there. Al is out golfing right now with Eric and then will be joining us and the rest of the Lamberts for lunch at Fuddruckers.Just right for a Father's Day.
Take care all!

Airplanes, luggage and a serial killer in our midst
Life has been exceedingly busy for the Lentinis of Chanhassen....
Luke and Al went out to New Jersey in early May to visit Dumont and see the Lentini/Lamatina side of the family. He got to attend a nice party and have fun getting to meet and know that side.
Luke travelled again over Memorial Day weekend to Genoa, Nevada for a visit with Nana and Pop-pop. He got to ride on a real steam engine #8 (the Cooke 1886 engine in the Nevada state railroad museum) and was sitting right up front with the engineer. Pictures to come! He also received his prized possession of a Go Diego! backpack/rolling luggage. He proudly walks through the airports now with his luggage- the perfect place for his new DVD player from Best Buy.
We barely had time to unpack when the whole crew headed out last weekend to Las Vegas, Nevada, for mom to speak at a conference and Luke and Al to hang out with Nana, Pop-Pop and Uncle Nate. We had an amazing time together and I did get to spend a little bit of time at the pool between conference sessions. You can see some of the pictures that Nate took at:

Luke fell in love with the pool area and was a regular little fishy- swimming at least 3 hours each day in the pool. He also fell in love with slot machines and would announce to anyone who would listen that he is now 21. Ah.... corrupted in Las Vegas.
When we returned, we had an unhapppy surprise. We have discovered a killer in our midst. She's about 2 feet tall and has a greying muzzle. Her alias is- BK- also known as the Bird Killer. So far, we have 3 confirmed kills this summer with 1 suspected kill. She is now suspected in one kill from last summer as well. Gordita is a homocidal machine. Despite dive-bombing by friends of the victim and her advanced age of almost 10 years old, Gordy managed to kill a bluejay this morning. We are monitoring her behavior, but she seems to be on a roll now... So much for Al's bird-watching... we now use the Audubon Guide as a post-mortem tool to identify the species of victims.
I head out for a presentation in DC this week and then the weekend should bring birthday fun and father's day celebrations.
Cheers!
