back in the saddle again
tommyI’m back.
What a blast! NYC is a great place to visit. Driving up I-95 was not really too bad. But upon approaching New York from the NJ turnpike, and crossing over the Hudson River, a couple of tollbooth guys saw my Lightning/Devil Rays/Buccaneers front license plate. Apparently, Giants fans are still a bit upset that the Bucs went further than them in 2002. And that the Lightning are in the run for the President’s Cup (now this morning, the Devil Rays beat their Yankees!!). They wanted to know what the hell a Floridian was doing in New York in March. I told them I needed to get away from all the New Yorkers in Tampa.
But it was cold there last week. We arrived on Friday afternoon, mere hours after the last big blast. We promptly had a snowball fight. On Monday, the first full day of spring brought a high temperature of about 25. And, apparently the leader of HAMAS was killed. So then Tuesday, while at the Grand Central Terminal, we mingled in and around the NYPD, Army peeps, SWAT teamers with big (and I mean BIG) f’ing guns, and official-looking German Shepherds.
Of course, we had planned to make this trip months previous. Of course, Wifey wanted to drive, not fly. Of course, gas prices rose to their highest levels ever. OK… l’m trying to be a smart ass… But we really had a great time. More to come, if I get around to it.
