THE KING IS DEAD. I am proud to announce, my boy, my old roommate, school mate, wingman, traveling companion, drinking buddy, wine teacher, one of my closest friends who has written the book on partying, Tony Baldini, is offically engaged as of this weekend to the beautiful Caroline. It seems just like yesterday we were dancing with 4 Spanish girls in Sevilla til 6am. Or drinking to excess in Barcelona, Virgin Islands, Florence, Milan, Vegas, NY, Minn, San Francisco, San Diego, Napa, TJ, ...... If you've noticed I've never chroniceled Tones the Mad Bones or even mentioned stories in my blog, its for two reasons......there are too many and he has too many of me as well. But most of you are either good friends with Tones or have met him and know that he is one of the most honest, intelligent, genuine, good hearted, good natured pretty boys around. He is a true friend I have grown to count on for the likes of over 15 years. I'm not sure I could even come close to matching the number of fun nights out I've had with Tones. I know Tones is ready for this new adventure and I wish them both all the love & luck in the world. Lift your wine glass and toast the engaged Tony & his fiance Caroline CONGRATULATIONS.
