Smelly Freight Elevators

So we didn't get to take the old freight elevator like the old days
but it was still a good day in the Garden.....even though we lost our
scrimmage

A Boy and His Dream

So the subject line would only be funny if you were on the Staten
Island Ferry with us. Sorry folks

The bottom picture is from Ground Zero. The gentleman on the left held our guys' attention for around 10-15 minutes giving them history about 9/11 and the new developments in the area. He was one of the most dynamic speakers I've ever seen.

DO

Possibly the creepiest car sales ad I've ever seen

Who knew Donnie Osmond was a car salesmen on the side?

Yeah, good point, on the side of what?

Grate Thought

Ok so I know by now you must be thinking, "Brian is one of the
greatest thinkers and writers of our time.".

Why, thanks. That means a lot coming from such a well-known
literary critic.

With that being said, I couldn't help but think how many things are
dropped through these types of grates in cities. I thought that as my
hands suddenly became sweaty while walking over this grate. But think
about it......phones, iPods, wallets and other valuable things like
toothpicks and safety pins must routinely fall through these on a
daily basis.

And what happens to them? Do city workers do the right thing and
find the rightful owner?

I'm sure they do

On a related note, how does one "mark" sarcasm when writing?

Oh, update on the trip.....just hopped on the 1 train and heading to
ground zero then maybe the Staten Island ferry. We are scrimmaging
Bishop England in the Garden at 2.

The Garden

Made it into the Garden. Cal getting smoked by 20 at the moment. The
'Cuse is pretty good

ESPN

The guys in the ESPN zone, times square.

Chap's Alive!!!

......and this is the best pizza you'll ever have in NYC....

Ok well i don't want to speak for you so let me say this is the best
pizza IVE ever had in NYC

Also, just got a call from Chap. He's back from Costa Rica and will
be on his way to Macedonia tomorrow. The story continues!!!

P

Must be about time for pud....

Pockets

This guy stopped short of asking for an autograph at least

DF

Derek Fisher on the subway.....incognito in glasses

Smells

Ok so is there anything that smells better in an airport than a
Cinnabon location? I'll answer for you, "no"

New York City?

I think even my alarm clock was thinking, "it's too early"

Oh and one side note, if you're picking up the Ridge View basketball
team, would either A) pick them up from Ridge View High School or B)
pick them up from Spring Valley High School. This question just may
be tougher than you think......
