Everything went well, finally. Yeah, I took the bus down to their office at 324 E. Par Street, just across the line into Orlando, and everything, the bus ride, the paper work, and the blood drawing went well. I had a minimal wait period and that was good, too.
When the appointment was over I opted to walk the 1.8 miles back to the apartment and I have to admit that this wasn’t the smartest of decisions. At noon it was hot, muggy and virtually breezeless ... meaning ... when I got back to the apartment I was drenched in sweat. Oh well ... it is Florida in June, isn’t it?
Moving on ...
Last night I stayed in the cool and comfortable confines of my apartment to watch baseball. The Yankees had the day/night off.
Tonight at 7:05pm the Yankees (33-26) will play the Orioles (29-30) in Baltimore, in the first game of a 3-game series.
On the mound for the Yankees will be Michael Pineda (7-2) vs. Ubaldo Jimenez (3-3)
The Bronx Bombers now lead the AL East by 2 games over the Rays.
Moving on some more ...
