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.

Welcome to the 2008 Mets team. 

• Welcome to a team whose manager will stand by his “guy” but won’t fight for him.
• Welcome to a team who can’t manage to win a home stand against two last place teams without a struggle. UPDATED after another pathetic offensive outing.
• Welcome to a team that shows indifference more than heart.
• Welcome to a team who is not going to the playoffs this year if nothing changes.

Soooo.... who has a kid they’d like to pawn off on me for two Sunday afternoons this summer?  This child would have to have no interest in owning a bobblehead of Sandy the Seagull and PeeWee.  Some other gift substitution can be arranged.

I’m probably mistaken but last year I don’t remember the Cyclones having any promotions that were for kids only.  This year it looks like at least half of them are for kids only.  Which is fine.  I’m all for the kids getting their coloring books and pillow cases and full length wooden bats.  However, I want mini mascot bobbleheads!  I love Sandy and PeeWee and they need to be mine in mini bobblehead form!
