The Cook's Visit New York.

Nick and Shelia Cook at Rockefeller Center.

This past week The Cook’s came out to visit and take in the City. Their trip, which covered more groud during than I have in nearly 8 months, included three of the five Boroughs of New York City. While not working, Julie and I had dinner with them at Heartland Brewery at the Empire State Building and Dee’s in Queens (which just so happens to be my favorite Italian place ever).

The Cook’s took the form of travel favored in the 19th Century… the Rails. Granted they didn’t excatly travel like a commoner in their upgraded ‘Sleeper Car‘. But they took the road less traveld nonetheless.

Tonight Julie and I went to the Game 6 of the National League Championship Series at Shea stadium. The Mets managed to force a game 7, winning 4-2. As you can tell by the photo below, I started the solid, yet steady clap that lasted all of the ninth inning which put the Mets over the top. As you can tell in the photographs, I’ve yet to find a place to get my hair cut that I’m comfortable with.

NLCS Game 1 at Shea Stadium.

Last night Julie and I went to Game 1 of the National League Championship Series between the Mets and the St. Louis Cardinals. We orginally had tickets to game two but due to the weather Game 1 was postponed until Friday and our game became the first of the series. As a student of College Football, I’ve never been to a playoff game of any kind until last night. Obviously my streak of good luck continues seeing that the Mets won 2-0. The highlight of the game for me was seeing Julio ‘All Ass’ Franco at bat. My theory on Franco is that he puts his ass into every hit. It’s all Ass.

All and all it was a good night. The weather wasn’t too bad, our seats were great and the Mets won. Plus I got to see Darryl Strawberry, when is that not a good thing?
