Bronx Bombers!
I got back Friday from Connecticut and then I was off to Greensboro for National Guard drill for the weekend. Then flew out again on Monday and here I am in Poughkeepsie, New York. I was able to see not only my first Yankees game, but also see Yankees stadium before it’s torn down. Even though the Yankees lost and it was over 100 degrees (really New York??) it was a great game. Had some excellent seats 30 rows back from the first base line, no second string guys all starting line-up, a two run homer by A-Rod, and got to see the Moose (Mike Mussina) start and Mariano Rivera close the game. When you look at the picture’s you’ll notice a few pictures of the grounds crew and you maybe asking what’s so great about that. Well during the 7th inning stretch the grounds crews come’s out and they do a dance/skit to the song of YMCA. It’s was actually pretty cool and wish I could of got a few better ones, but I didn’t know until about half way through.
As for work Doug, my boss, is allowing me to teach the classes I taught the first part of the class today and then I’ll teach again tomorrow. I tell you what teaching really tires you out. By the end of class I could barely form words properly or complete a thought. Funny thing happened today, since we’ve been traveling so much I actually lost track of what rental car we were driving this week. When you have had three different rentals plus your own vehicle it’s tough. Anyways Friday early morning I’m hoping to fly out and then be able to meet my mom when she gets to the house, but if it’s not in the morning it’ll be in the afternoon that I get home.
Overall it’s been a very busy and non-stop week for me, but I’ve done some great things. Miss you Jen and can’t wait to get home!
Posted below are a few pictures from the Yankees game.
Home Sweet Home
Got back from Southbury, CT about 8 PM Friday night. We were originally scheduled for a 6:55 PM flight, but was able to get on standby for a 5:15 flight. Standby was interesting, it was my first time flying standby and I found that people who fly standby are jerks or at least the few that were with me Friday night. Two guys in front me about got in a fight and then the guy behind me pushed me out of the way as I was giving my luggage to the flight attendant. I understand seats are first come first serve, but really pushing. Anyways Southbury was pretty boring, nothing really there. I did see a place called “Chainsaws Unlimtied”, I thought that funny. I get to go back to Southbury next week and then I’m home for a week or a weekend to then fly out to Poughkeepsie, NY. The Poughkeepsie trip should be fun, my boss got us Yankee tickets (can’t wait) so I will finally get to see Yankees stadium before it’s torn down.
Weekend was good. Saturday did some errands and then went to a cook out in the evening with some friends. Sunday was church and then my father in-law and I played some paintball. Anyways that’s all for now folks. Till next time…
