Mets won

Spent most of the afternoon at the new Citi Stadium where I think most of the stimulus package has gone. It was a beautiful park and we had amazing seats, 5 rows back from the visitor dug-out. It was a tad bit warm outside and I got some sun, finally. We had an amazing lobster roll for lunch with some great seasoned fries and a toasted lager.

Tomorrow I am off to NEW YORK CITY!! I will spend the day in Midtown shopping and seeing whatever sights I come across, as well as lunch with my now-found-long-lost-cousin.

I am really embarrassing and starting to enjoy the spontaneity of this vacation. I have no specific plans for tomorrow and still haven't planned my exact trip home and surprisingly enough I am totally OK with that and am not worried. What, me without a plan? and not worried to boot! I know, I know, don't worry I didn't lose myself in Canada while without GPS, I am just really soaking up my current life-on-vacation.

A good polticial laugh

I usually leave the political issues to one Mr. RomanX , but this one I couldn't help; plus it did not too much trouble to understand the back story

Grassley laid it on thick to Sen. Kent Conrad, reminding the senator that he asked Grassley not to take a vote on something a few years ago and Grassley obliged. Then the Iowan continued to remind the senator that Conrad's reaction to this was, he said "it was a very statesman-like thing to do." But for good measure, Grassley, a senior member of the Budget Committee, ended with, "So I would hope you would return the favor."

Conrad looks shocked and laughingly replies, "I used to like you," before saying, "Oh, you are good."

Without missing a beat, Grassley responds: "Your wife said the same thing."

Upon which Conrad replied steadily and ignored what could have been an even more awkward moment by saying, "She said you were the biggest hit of all the speakers at the event."
