I turn 24 tomorrow.

Yet another year as passed me by. I don’t feel any older or wiser. Oh well! I’m going to to Mario Batali’s pizza place, Otto, tomorrow night! I’m excited! After tomorrow night, I’ll officially have been to three of Mario’s restaurants. Yummy.

TGIF! I hope you didn’t get soaked in the downpour like I did today!

I’ve been participating in my company softball team. I’ve never played baseball/softball before this even though I love watching the game. I’m scared of the ball and was lucky enough not having to field in the past few games. Yesterday we had our second to last game and there were just enough people to cover the entire field. This meant that I could not play DH (designated hitter). I ended up being the pitcher because apparently I have a good arm. When the second batter of Bear Stearns came up, I threw a pitch and I believe was called as a strike. I was excited and then threw my next pitch, and he whacked it right back to me and ended up hitting my foot!

So, that’s probably the first and only time I will ever pitch in a softball game. The scary part is that if we had used a real softball, my foot would have been broken!

Have a great weekend!

Dear 4,5, and 6 trains of New York City,

When I am trying to get to work on time, please do not stop in a black tunnel for 10 minutes at a time while your conductor says, “We apologize for the delay. There is an emergency at 59th Street/Grand Central Terminal. There is a police investigation.” Or on Tuesday they said something like, “There is a sick passenger at 59th Street. There will be no 4 or 5 trains running from 125th Street to Grand Central.” It is the summer and customers do not enjoy fighting to get on a train from a disgustingly hot and dirty platform. Also, some people do not enjoy being crammed into a train with strangers’ body parts nestled next to them. Most importantly, when will the 2nd Avenue line be started/finished? Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

A concerned subway rider
