The Straw

Darryl Strawberry's guest appearance at The Journey today recounted his struggles with all the things that money can buy--drugs, alcohol, women, etc. He proudly names God as his path back home.

Welcome to New York

If I had a dollar...

Apparently, it's totally normal to have mice scurrying across the floor and crawling up through the stove burners, and running along the kitchen counters.

I look at it like the hazing process prior to the formal initiation into the city.

Great Lawn Almighty

Great Lawn of Central Park, Friday at 6pm.

6:10pm, back to the bus, drenched.

Lesson learned.

A Thing of the Past...

Lizard chasing in Las Colinas--a thing of the past.

Not one, but TWO mice in the kitchen tonight.

Big city. Big rodents.

Game plan: Rock the "power boots" (a.k.a. galoshes), empty the trash, and douse the baseboards with bleach.

Glue traps, here I come!

Summer Solstice, NY Style

66 degrees.

Rain all day.

If the Earth's axis is most inclined towards the sun, New York was not a part of it.

Side on Top

French fries on top of a hot dog.

With cheese.

And chili.

Brilliant!
