I was 30, 30 years old the last time the New York Yankees, the most prolific team in sports history, won their last World Championship. I’d only been hitched for 3 years, kidless, still living in Atlanta, heck, I used to wear suits and ties in those days (yuck).
Nine years. Nine years is a long [...]

NY, NY, Game Two of the 2009 World Series
Posted in Uncategorized on November 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I wasn’t supposed to go but when a friend of mine from Atlanta said he was coming up, well I certainly wasn’t going to back out. I had realized I’d not been to a World Series game since Games 4 and 5 of the 1996 World Series. Game 4 was the one the Yanks down [...]

When we lived in Atlanta, and especially in Los Angeles, we always ensured we did the touristy things. We’d ensure if there was something to do within 30 miles of where we lived, we did it. I’ve had people telling me they’ve lived in LA for 30 years and haven’t done the La Brea Tar [...]

The umpiring this post season has been absolutely horrible. The only positive for a Yankees fan is that more than half of these calls have gone their way. But as a fan of the game, it’s unacceptable to see these major league umpires, the best of the best, making such poor calls.
What is even worse [...]

Wow, nothing like a cold run of cards to bring in the fall and wintery weather. Played a NL200 tourney last night in Ossining and I was the bounty since I’d won the previous tournament two months ago. This can be both good and bad as people target you to win $100 if they bust [...]
One year back in New York
Posted in Uncategorized on October 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Yesterday was our one year anniversary back in New York. This year as packed as it was, was still less disruptive than the previous 12 months. The previous twelve months consisted of having a baby, moving from LA back to Atlanta, packing again and preparing to move to New York, buying a house, trying to [...]
Nor’easter? It’s October!

It’s bad enough I was in Costco a few weeks ago and noticed Christmas stuff already out. Yes, really. It seems that earlier and earlier each year the Xmas decor comes out just a tad earlier. Over the last few falls, it’s become common-place for Saint Nick and the gang to poke their heads out [...]
Postseason, well my baseball season; going out on a roll
Posted in Uncategorized on October 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Wrapped up the 2009 baseball season this morning with a 8-4 defeat. Doesn’t sound all the impressive; heck we lost. But at least I went out on top playing my best game of the year. I came in relief of our manager/pitcher who clearly did not have it today. He gave up 8 runs in [...]
When is AQ no good on a AAQ board…

….yes, that was me from what I thought to be a very solid hand for me. Until the guy betting into me on the flop, turn, bets a nice chunk of change as the river brought the King….which happened to make his full-house Aces full of Kings beat my Aces full of Queens. Seriously!
