Tuesday==>Well, your favorite blogger had a BLAH day yesterday here in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.
Most of the day was spent on the seemingly never-ending list of errands and chores. I kept checking my ticket services but nothing of any interest showed up.
Had been considering catching the just opened block-buster movie THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 but when decision time arrived I just wasn’t in the mood to brave the teeming hordes ... so ... Billi Pod opted to stay in for the evening to watch baseball on his new (to him) 42” TV.
Yeah, I know ... but calm down ... even Billi Pod gets to stay in every now and then ... but ... what a BUMMER.
WHY? Well, my loyal and faithful readers and followers, The Yankees lost to the LA Angels by a score of 4-1. It wasn’t the loss that earns a BUMMER ... it was how we lost that sucked.
Since the game was played late in LA the local papers have no coverage ... so ...
The score was tied 1-1 into the top of the 8th inning. The Wankies loaded the bases with no outs ... then ... a strike-out and a doubleplay and ... no runs.
Then came the barf inducing scene. In the bottom of the 8th The Angels loaded the bases and then scored 3 runs without getting a hit as our bullpen imploded by walking in 3 runs. It was truly puke-inducing, it really was.
Yeah, this is what capped off a BLAH day.
Tonight @ 10:00pm is game 2 of the 3-game series. On the mound for The Wankies will be Hiroki Kuroda (2-3) vs. C.J. Wilson (4-2) for The Angels.
Moving on ...
This afternoon, at 3:00pm (why this time??? I have no clue) I am meeting up with Dian Crystal aka My Lady, Marty Kosarik aka Whatever and his boyfriend Robert, and Vera Olichney at Queen of Sheba, an Ethiopian restaurant at 10th Avenue and 46th Street in my Hell’s Kitchen ‘hood, for my delayed 80th birthday party, at least I think that’s why we are getting together.
Really looking forward to being with them. I hope they will remember to bring name-tags.
Then for the evening is an Off Broadway show ...
7:00==>THE RIVALS - “A revival of the bawdy 1775 (yeah, that’s the correct year) comedy about Lydia Languish who dreams of eloping with the impoverished Captain Beverly. Little does she know that ‘Beverly’ is really Jack Absolute, a wealthy aristocrat.” (Off Broadway - complimentary ticket)
This show just opened, is playing at The Pearl Theatre on West 42nd Street, has a running time of 2:15, with intermission, and runs through May 25th.
In closing==>even though yesterday was a BLAH day, Billi Pod logged in some decent walking mileage ...
Yesterday’s Pedometer mileage==>4.06 miles (or, 8,877 steps)
Total mileage for 2014==>436.66 miles (average 3.49 miles per day)
GO YANKEES!!
