first of all
i'd like to apologize for not posting as often as usual
but ive been knee deep in weddings
i figure in the last few weeks ive cooked for oh about
1600 or so people
oy
also want to apologize for the spam attack on my comments
i need to get my web guru to look into it
but here's what im happy about today
the yankees
oh yeah im a new yorker
so course im happy
but you know
originally
in my first 16 years
i was a south jersey gal
yeah that's right i admit it
and south jersey loves the philies
along the lines of the asbury park territory
folks feel downright schizoid
i mean asbury is a very new york kind of jersey town
and rumson where i went to high school is chock full of manhattan ex-patriots who root for the yankees
but in jersey, there's still a divide
north jersey roots for the yankees
south jersey roots for the philies
where that divide is
i dunno
so yankee lovers in south jersey
often have to keep their yap shut
but for me loving the yankees had nothing to do with nyc
i don't know anything about baseball really
find the sport madly boring
find most sports madly boring
but i have a special nostalgic yen for the yankees
so much so that i dragged my best pal and significant other
and my goddaughter to some serious nose bleed seats
last year to see one of the last games at the old stadium
im allergic to wheat to i had to eat the hot dog with no bun
NOT FUN
don't like beer
don't like loud obnoxious drunken men
hated the nose bleed seats
don't think derek jeter or a-rod are sexy
wish they had some female players in baseball
but still
i love the yankees
the first baseball player i ever knew about was babe ruth
maybe the first team i ever knew about was the yankees
they just pull at my heart strings
and it doesn't have to make sense
nyc has been through a lot
but today is new york's day
the parade
the joy
the hooplah
it's all good
don't ask me what the score was
who hit
who missed
i didn't even watch the game
but
again
still love the yankees
what can i say
im a tad odd
as you know
