Well it's been a busy few weeks with visitors from home and slipping back into tourist mode. Highlights include....
Roller Derby - Manhattan Mayhem defeat Queens of Pain -thanks to a dubious call from the Ref that put Suzy Hotrod in the sinbin for the final jam.
Cocktails on the roof of the Metropolitan Museum of Art......my kind of museum visit. Cheers!!
Bingay.....at Lips in the West Village. Drag queens have nothing on Mitzy and Naomi but was fun none the less. I did like the half-time shows but without the entertaining calls for each number it's really not the same.
Staten Island - sailed past Lady Liberty in all her glory for an afternoon at Staten Island. Most people just do the round trip and don't bother getting off on the island. Other than us, the only people that did get off were either on day release from the psychiatric ward or drug rehab centre or orthodox jews having a picnic with their 14 children. Mazel Tov!
Boston - small and quaint and full of history...and rude cab drivers. Did a brief city tour and boat cruise. Saw the USS Constitution (oldest navy ship aptly named 'Old Ironsides'). Conference was a waste of time but Tugs enjoyed a few days exploring including a trip to spooky (and not just because of the witches) Salem and the JFK Museum.
Yankees vs Indians - on the bleachers which is a little like Bay 13 at the SCG. On a scorcher of a day the Yankees thrashed the Indians 11-2 thanks to a Grand Slam by A-Rod - clearly Cameron Diaz is doing wonders for his game. The heat did nothing to dampen the horny housewives trying to flirt with the outfield players. The highlight was when the whole Bleachers section erupted into a chant of 'asshole, asshole, asshole' at some poor unfortunate patron who happened to be wearing an Indians cap.
