Things on my mind this
Things on my mind this week to ramble about:
1. The Yankees lost their first playoff game today. I don't know what would make me happier - the Red Sox winning the World Series, or George Steinbrenner undergoing a complete meltdown when the small market Twins defeat his Best Team Money Can Buy. I still want my Sox to win it all, but this week you can count me as the world's biggest Twins fan.
2. We threw my younger brother his bachelor party this past weekend, and despite an unfortunate car incident, the day went off virtually perfectly. I know my brother had a great time, and that's what it's all about. It's somewhat weird throwing your younger brother a bachelor party - not because he's my kid brother, it's not like I felt I was corrupting him or anything silly. It's just that he's younger than me - this sort of forces the issue of his age, and mine. Somewhere along the line, when no one was looking, we got old. Or older, anyway. At any rate, he's done well for himself, she's a great girl and I'm proud of him and happy for him. If you're reading this, bro... Mazeltov.
3. As much as I don't like living in New York, I must admit that there is something gaudily wonderful about Times Square. We were there last night, taking in all its tacky neon glory. It's just a car wreck of a place - you don't necessarily want to look, but you can't turn away.
4. The Bush Administration is the most evil ever to hold power in the United States. It's not bad enough that they LIED about Hussein's WMD in order to hoodwink people into supporting the war they've wanted since Daddy held the office - and that their having done so has cost several hundred American military their lives. Now we have the White House deliberately placing the life of a loyal American serving her country in danger, just because her husband doesn't support the president. Without question, this Administration is a disgrace.
5. Loving this weather in New York. I am a huge autumn fan. I miss seasons.
