Colin Murray reports that after 13 years he is still owed a chocolatini at Jesse’s steakhouse from classmate Cliff Campbell. Cliff neglected to report this in a column earlier this year, but is righting this wrong now.

Blair Dickinson and Ryan Schroeder (University of Pittsburgh ’05) had a baby boy, Cole Thomas, on October 24. He joins big sister Nora and can’t wait to meet his mother’s Big Green friends around the girdled earth.

Please keep the updates coming! As for me, my wife and I are enjoying our new California selves, which most recently involved dressing our dog Cadbury in flannel pajamas to simulate the winters we left behind in New York. We’re cool!
