Jeanine and I met our nephew Johnny at the Weston Reservoir for a lovely 2 mile walk this morning. It has been some time since we have seen him and it was nice to catch up.

Located adjacent to the reservoir is the 27,000-square-foot, 22-room home of Jim and Kim Pallotta located on 28 acres. A billionaire hedge fund manager, Pallotta is a co-owner of the Boston Celtics and by many accounts a nice guy and generous philanthropist. Born in the same year I was to a father from Calabria he grew up in the North End.
