July 6, 2021: Going West
OK, let’s put a bow on this latest trip to NYC. In order to do that, we would have to wake up early and drive about 13 hours to get back home. Yep, the long road trip awaited, and thus, … Continued
July 5, 2021: Domino
I love playing games; I’ve always liked that. Ever since I was a kid, bugging my parents to play a board game, or cards, or jumping on my Atari, or playing a wiffle ball game outside with my brother, I’m … Continued
July 4, 2021: Fireworks in the City
The party got started right away on the night of the 3rd. My wife has family in NY; this is where we would be staying. Before that though, we’d travel to 102nd St in Spanish Harlem to visit a building … Continued
July 3, 2021: The Big Apple

June 28, 2021: Out of Reach
So, how about that first game of the Stanley Cup finals between the Canadiens and Lightning? Didn’t watch that; shit, that game can’t even make it on a network channel… sad. How about the Suns Clippers game? Nope; no interest … Continued
June 25, 2021: Nice Welcome Home
As our delayed plane landed at Midway on Thursday night, I flipped my phone off Airplane Mode. I checked my text messages, sent a few, then of course, checked in on the Cubs game. I saw they were beating the … Continued
June 24, 2021: Vegas Vibe
OK, let’s put a bow on this Vegas trip, and get back to normal, whatever that is. I really showed my age that last night in Vegas, passing out at 11pm… pathetic. At least I didn’t lose any more money, … Continued
