Sometime in November, work got crazy, I was planning a move, and caught what may or may not have been bacon flu. But I (along with Three Word Chant and its tireless contributors) am back!
It’s 2010! Some things have stayed the same (troubling economy, two wars abroad, prominence of Lady Gaga), while others are vastly [...]

The Greatest Game
The team was different, the fans were different, the Stadium was different, but one thing seems to never change as October hits the Bronx – Mariano Rivera. As he struck out Gary Matthews Jr. to end Game 6 of the ALCS (and I jumped up and down like a schoolgirl), the Yankees defeated the Angels [...]

Assorted summer memories
There were a few random trips/activities I did this summer that I never got around to writing about..and I keep staring at the photos. For posterity’s sake..here they are.

A trip across town – first visit to Citi Field
After extensive research, I was able to determine that there is in fact another baseball team that calls New York home, and they are based in Queens. I then realized that visiting their ballpark was on my 101 list, so I headed there this past weekend. Despite a Mets win, the visit was not without [...]

A turning point for the Yankee franchise (hopefully)
This has been an unbelievable season for the greatest franchise in sports. From A-Rod’s home run in his first game back, to Teixeira’s first-year surge, to “comeback weekend” against the Twins, to Jeter breaking Gehrig’s hits record, to, most importantly, having an actual pitching rotation.
One game I forgot/neglected to blog about was the Yankees make [...]

Jeter ties the Iron Horse
This week will be “non-topical blog post week” since I have lots of catching up to do..that’s probably the best hook to use when starting a blog post. I blame my introduction to Twitter and the start of football season. That said…
Thanks to Brett’s aforementioned ticket package, I was able to take Lauren to see [...]

39. See Avenue Q
On Friday, I finally went to see Avenue Q, which I’ve wanted to do for about a year and is on my 101 list. The show is essentially an X-rated Sesame Street – it deals with the challenges of young adulthood but is acted out (mostly) by puppets.
The show’s absurdities start with the music – [...]

Concerts that I have attended, photographed and yet not blogged about (Jason Mraz edition)
Over the last three weeks, Lauren and I went to see two concerts that we planned out awhile ago. I took a bunch of pictures, had funny things happen, then decided not to write anything about them so I could be an abject blogging failure. Well no more.
On August 7th, we went to see Jason [...]

15. Attend 10 Yankee games [2/10]
This was my third game this year, and second since I started the 101. After months of frustration against the Sox (0-8 to start the season), we came back and won convincingly, despite an average start from Joba (and Jorge demonstrating baserunning skills on par with Rain Man).
Joba has had a brief flirtation with “winning” [...]

Adventures in the Hamptons
This past weekend, I headed out to the Hamptons (#81 on the 101) with Lauren and her parents to relax and/or have things to blog about.
We stayed at Windward Shores in Amagansett, which is about halfway between East Hampton and Montauk. I had never been further east than Port Jefferson (I ran out of hair [...]
