NYC, Baby!

I made it back from the Big Apple yesterday - good timing seeing as how the big storms that went through there today. Had a good trip and as you may have seen from my posts, I was able to fit in some "kick-back" time along with a biz trip. The photo above is the view from the Time Warner cafeteria on the 10th floor of the Time Warner Center on Columbus Circle, not a bad lunch spot eh?


My pal Sam, who I work with, and I hit the Yankees game Sunday afternoon. I wanted to get Lago a Yankees Staten Island cap, but they only had fitted caps and didn't have her size. I did get her a Yankees hoodie though.


After the game while waiting for the traffic and crowds to die down, we bowled a couple games at the bowling alley across the street from Yankees Stadium.


We had no problem getting a cab to the game, but we decided to take the subway back. An older dude helped us get on the right train and took us exactly where we needed to be on 59th Street.


It was a full sports day with dinner at the ESPN-Zone and caught some of the NFL Hall of Fame game.

We had some storm action here while I was gone and the backyard is littered with branches, but nothing major. Been hotter than blazes - got up to 101 today, mama mia!

Opened up the new Woodside Lounge yesterday.

The new Woodside Lounge has its own TV, even though it's around the corner from the theater room. It just goes without saying, all lounges must have a TV for sporting events. I believe it's in the building code. Music is served up from the stereo system currently residing in the dining room, but I'm thinking of moving it to the Lounge. Today I went streakin'! Remember, use that sunblock out there. - Salud!

Summer Mix 2007

I probably should give this over the weekend to think about it, because there are three songs not included in this year's Summer Mix that I've been flip-flopping over. The mix just seems very tight and I can't fit the songs in without repeating the "essence," "groove" or beat of another song. I think the mixes for me work best when they flow and take you from one place to another musically without beating you over the head with the same style. Another thing I like to do with the Summer Mix is incorporate the old alongside the new. I hate to put two old songs back to back, or should I say two songs from the same era back to back. Now as you look at my mix you'll see some old songs next to other old songs. I guess it's not a hard and fast rule for me, but I try to at least jump a decade between two old songs. Like last year I kept the sound effects to a minimum, using a mix I created of beach sounds for the opening and a crickets sound effect for ...
