yawn…
June 19, 2006Its Sunday night. Another blog entry as this has been a really busy weekend.
Today I went to D.C. to a nationals game as the Nats came back against the Yankees. Its very interesting seeing the yankees away from the stadium. As interesting as seeing the Red Sox in Camden Yards. TO see how many Yankee fans there are is remarkable. It also wakes up the home crowd. Most fans are sleeping until the yankee fans start cheering… THIS wakes up the boo birds. In any event, it was the largest crowd ever for a Nationals home game at 45, 157 and it came down to the last pitch. In our section there were 2 groups of taiwanese fans cheering on Wang, the Yankees pitcher, a former bochur of the SI yankees.
After the game I decided to take a different route on the metro than the route I took to the game.
Bad Idea.
I walked around in a complete circle for 25 minutes. On the positive side I got a free tour of Downtown D.C.
After getting back to B’more, I went to work for a few hours and hit the gym. SO I got back to my apartment 13 hours after I left in the AM. whew.
I did give me a few more momens to reflect on the shabbos aufruf. For example, After the seudah friday night at around 11ish, I picked up my gemora and tried to catch up on the daf as Avi was sleeping in the room. I thought for a second, and I tried to remember the last time I slept in the same room with my brother in law, avi. Turns out when Penina and I were engaged her grandparents made a kiddush for us on the upper west side. I slept in the same room with avi that friday night. A bit different though. We were in different beds this time. Also different was the amount of sleep he got and the lack of sleep I got over shabbos. Boy am I jealous.
Penina and the kids are doing well as today Michal and her gymnastics chug had a ….something…. Her friends, Penina, sara b …all went to see her perform. Michal also called to wish me a happy fathers day. A big deal bec. in Israel there is no mention of yom Av… or yom abba.
well, thats about it for a busy Sunday. Heat and Mavs are tied and I have it on the internet radio. 1:20 left.
Good night,
j
