I Love New York

I also love my proximity to it. Lately I've been going down to the city at least once a week. I had another completely spontaneous adventure there yesterday with Steph, who had just flown in to JFK from a vacation in California. I started off the day around 3:30 am when I left Derby for the airport. I hit absolutely no traffic and got there early, so I had some time to wander around and I think I saw Morgan Spurlock from Supersize Me going up the escalator next to me. I'm not a big fan of the guy so if it was him I'll never know cuz I just kept on moving. Once Steph got in we made a quick decision to head into Manhattan, so we hopped on the FDR and went on a quest for bacon. After an awesome breakfast in Bryant Park I suggested that we try to 
see a Broadway show, but after looking into it realized that there weren't any on Mondays. So we hopped on the 6 train and headed down to the BODIES exhibition at the South Street Seaport which was really cool, but disgusting. After touching a real human brain we got pretty hungry so we stopped in at Mc Menamin's Pub on South St. for some Killian's, pizza, and sheppard's pie. After the food we headed back to the car and I found that I was blessed with another parking ticket and a massive sticker that they slapped on my window to make me feel bad for disrupting a street cleaning. We headed up to StubHub on 40th street to pick up the tickets, and while I was on the elevator this guy in a business suit next to me lets out this huge fart... sounded like a trumpet. No apology, no smile, no confession, nothing. He follows me in and gets his tickets right after me, and then ends up waiting behind me to take the elevator back down when he starts talking to me. 
Halfway through his second sentence the fart trumpet rang out again. From there we headed up to Yankee stadium, where we bought some junk, drank lots of beer, ate expensive hot dogs and saw one of the best games I've ever been too. I don't think I've ever had more fun at a game. In the parking lot afterwords Steph was a lil tipsy and ended up getting hit by my car. A few minutes later we enjoyed a near deadly confrontation when an angry guy stepped in front of somebody else's car. They resolved it by pressing on the gas and hitting him.... a smart move. We ended the day the with the usual Beatles sing alongs and a secret nighttime concert. Check out the rest of the pics in the Newest Pics album.
Also here's a short video clip... nothing too exciting, just a couple seconds from the game:
