Since my last post I have been very busy. Instead of giving you a full recap of everything (which you don’t want to read) I’ll just list some events and highlights from the past few days.

Sunday-

• Lost in Queens.  (Living nearly all of my 33 years in Queens you’d think that this would stop happening.)
• NY Aquarium with some old and new friends.  (By new friends I don’t mean the fish. I’m not your crazy H.S. art teacher!)
• Got yelled at by a “puppet master” for taking his photo and not leaving a tip. 
• Got a t-shirt and a voucher instead of a jersey at Keyspan Park.
• Said hello to Angel Pagan before realizing it was Angel.  He said hi back.
• mmmm...knish.
• Shouted “Angel you rock!” from the bleachers.  There’s no way he didn’t hear me.
• Watched Laura (a Yankee fan) give in and do the Angel(s) in the Outfield wave.
• Got a beautiful sunburn which is now a beautiful farmers tan.
• Cyclones Win!
• Traffic.  Traffic.  Traffic.

New York celebrates my birthday 2008.

• First and foremost the Mets won!  Waaahhooooooo! 

• Shea Stadium played ”Living on a Prayer” instead of “Sweet Caroline” in the middle of the 8th inning.  Sadly, I wasn’t there but I got to hear a snippet on SNY.  Possibly the only time I’ve tried to tune out Gary, Ron and Keith. 

• The Empire State Building was illuminated in Orange and Blue.  Unfortunately I was out of the city long before dark and did not see this.  It’s the thought that counts.

And, yes, I like to think that all of this happened because it was my birthday. 

P.S. Check out the awesome birthday card my co-workers made for me!
