I went with Jonas to the Knicks game this afternoon. My cousin has season tickets and gave Jonas the tickets as a Christmas present. I had heard from a number of people that the team was really doing poorly this year but I was unprepared for just how bad. The Knicks really suck.

The final score of the game was 110-82, which sounds better than it was in reality. They were playing against the Charlotte Hornets, a team that is currently 14-24, and were down by nearly 50 points at the end of the third quarter. I haven’t seen someone get their ass whupped that bad since I was a teenager and came in three hours late after my curfew. I told Jonas to go ask the Knicks coach if he wanted us to go and suit up. We couldn’t have been much worse.

 

The Grand Theft Auto IV Launch party

GTA IV LogoI guess I am gonna have to finally breakdown and finally get a Playstation 3 (PS3) because Grand Theft Auto IV has just been released. I have put it off buying a next gen system because I really wanted a PS3. Plus when the system came out last year the games pretty much sucked and the console was 700 bucks. Since then there have been a number of solid games released for the PS3 and Sony dropped the price of the console down to 400 bucks. With the release of GTA IV, my bank account may have to take another hit. Continue reading “The Grand Theft Auto IV Launch party”

Runnin’ for Chowda!!

Half marathon

My wife continues to amaze me. Ski called a hour ago to tell me that she had survived and finished the Boston Marathon. This was only the third marathon she had ever run and yet as we spoke on the phone I noticed that she sounded exhausted, but still very hyper.

The kids were out of the house when she called. My cousin Miko had come down earlier in the day to take them for some ice cream and spend time with the kids. I told Ski that I would have them call and congratulate her as soon as they got home.

Ski didn’t have access to a computer so her “official” time was for the event was still up in the air. I immediately logged on to the Boston Marathon web site and took a look. Now I know that I am biased about her. I mean being my wife and the the mother of my children pretty much nullifies my objectivity. However it would be hard for anyone not to be impressed by the fact that her time for Boston was even better than her time for the NYC marathon.

Ski’s official time was 3:27:49. Man, I love my wife.

Returning home

NYC

So, I am finally back home after nearly ten weeks overseas in Norway. Needless to say, it has been very rough getting back into the swing of things. I definitely could get use to the European way of living. I find that as I am getting older and more set in my ways, NYC is not as appealing as it was in my youth. Continue reading “Returning home”
