Yanks

three weeks ago, i journeyed out to the new Yankee Stadium. as B and i got off the 4 train, i shuffled my way to the back staircase, as my dad and i always had used that sortie - assessing that it was the quickest. after taking 30 steps or so, it hit me -- the Yanks don't play in that stadium anymore. the new one is the other direction. it was a moment of confusion, but as shawn offered when i made my second trip last nite to the house that someone built, not unwarranted confusion. even inside, the stadium feels remarkably similar to the old one.

on this journey, i brought my trusty nikon. so, for those that have not been - welcome to the new era of Yanks bball..... stadium - awesome. on the field play this season so far, not so much.

LL Bean released a new line of clothing, that is geared to protect you from insects and sun. Not sure if it works, but as someone who gets eaten alive by mosquitoes, i may give it a shot.

NBA Playoff Bracket

pick 5

there's an app on facebook that has you choose top 5 lists - and share them with your friends. there are various categories; i chose to fill out the three that i was most passionate about from the batch they offered. here goes...
albums (the art of the full album has been lost. it is unfortunate.)
beer (i had never liked beer until my pops moved to belgium. beer is wonderful there.)
tv shows (i spent and spend much time in front of the tube. law & order marathon - sold!)
