Three week update blog

Yeah I've been ignoring the blog for the past couple of weeks, and I do apologize for that. Lets see if I can get a few blogs in a row going. Here are some topical updates:

My foot:










I had the stitches pulled last week, and am back to wearing normal shoes, although it hurts if I have to push off or if I step wrong on a step or edge. I was able to bowl and play softball again, so my stint on the disabled list is over.

The Dodgers:









Being a ticket package holder is fun, although its a lot of games, haha. So far I have been impressed with the team, despite a few glaring holes, i.e. no power threat, a void at 3b for much of the season, the big free agent pitcher on the DL since mid April. Despite all that they are still in first place with a decent lead compared to other divisions. I think the things that have made the difference though are: nomar's incredibly clutch hitting, martin's ability to call great games, a dominant bullpen, and the call up of Andy LaRoche....well maybe just his walk-up music:

I heart Andy LaRoche now!

Denver's Draft: B (could be an A, could be a D)
Denver as usual took at least one player with off-the-field character issues, who had huge talent while playing, but couldn't straighten himself up when he left it. On the plus side at least, we did draft defensive line players that we desperately needed. With our two corners and a fast linebackers, that was all that was missing. Hopefully Cutler matures fast and keeps the offense going.

New York:
Just over a week til we get to go. Unfortunately John's company canceled his meeting and thus didn't need him to go out. What that meant was that John no longer had a free hotel room and we were forced to look for something since we had all bought our plane tickets already. I suggested this:

The luxurious YMCA in Harlem. Shared bathrooms, locks on your doors, iron on the fences. Everything you could possibly look for in a room right? Well apparently not, so we are staying here instead:









Its supposed to be nice, we'll see.

My next post will be funnier as well...this one is lame, but I said I would blog today.

I hear John's cousin is coming up to New York for a couple days, so he'll be able to chip in for part of the cost of the hotel.
