Yankees 2

He really did it, you can't make this up.

The Yankees hit two home runs today, bringing their season total to two.

I should start a new blog......

Yankees 1

I have taken the liberty of numbering this post because i suspect that there will be many more like it.

I was listening to opening day. Ont he second batter, a Yankee made a wonderful play. The announcer, who truly deserves the title of this blog, said " I have heard it said that the Grandyman can."

This is the announcers own stupid catchphrase basically any time a Yankee gets a hit , at this point. So now he is quoting his own hubris. Similar to one posting something on the net, and then quoting it as if he read it somewhere.

The inning went 1-2-3. I am surprised he didn't say that the Yankees have no hit the competition for the entire season to date.

Its gonna be a long summer.

Ouch

I am certainly not immune to belonging on these pages, but I am not sure it is me who should really wear the title here. nevertheless, I will take responsibility here.

Someone sent us a package with a fish theme. I didn't really bother to read the attached poem/instuctions. It was fish shaped cookies, jelly fish, etc, in one of those little serving boats. The bottom was lined in what I assumed was little chocolate rocks, that I have seen in the past and always like. So I took a small (thankfully) handful and popped them into my mouth.

It was gravel.

Name

Sir Annoyus was at it again this week. He pops in front of my office with someone who looks familiar, and that person gives me a nice help. I respond in kind, and all is right with the world, until SA asks me if I know the person. I responded in the affirmative, even though his name escaped me for a moment. The person also stated that I knew him.

This is not enough for our esteemed knight of nonsense, so he pushes the issue, " What's his name?" he asked, in all his glory.

Now, I have a hard time remembering the names of my children after spending a weekend with them, there is no way this name is going to pop into my head immediately, considering I haven't seen this gentleman in quite some time. However, when he stated his first name, the rest popped, including his name,. family, AND place of employment, clearly indicating a knowledge of this person, who seemed satisfied.

However, Sir Annoyus was annoyed that there wasn't great embarrassment and discomfort on all sides.

Lovely person.

Traffic

Big accident the other day in the Tunnel. 3 Buses and a bike. Traffic backed up for hours. So you might think that it would make sense for the City to have the other arterial roads as clear as possible, so that people who actually work in the City, make money in the City, pay taxes in the City, would not be inconvenienced any more than necessary.

Well, this is Mike Bloomberg's City. So the West Side Highway is all backed up because a lane is closed for repairs.

During rush hour.
