A 'lil HooHaa

Messing with the blogging world since 2005

Safe

August 24, 2005

I’m going to do this one quick like as I need to get ready for work, considering I have a double-header to cover tonight. The bonus? Not being in the office for too awful long tonight! Whoo!

As for Brooklyn.

With my dummied directions, they were pretty spot on. Outside of me not making a right on a split, going left and ending up in Manhattan. Good times. A quick (and likely illegal) U-turn helped me to head back, so I’m on the right road. However, I couldn’t get flipped BACK around onto 278 the way I NEEDED to go until I got back to 87. Lovely. So basically, I lost an hour.

I did make sure I didn’t miss the turn the second time.

The ride down was somewhat quick. People on the thruway fly more than I remember. Of course, I used to get off at the I-84 exit to Connecticut. So I didn’t go closer to the city. And those people move. I was doing 85 in one of the lanes and being passed like I was standing still.

Once back at Brooklyn, the stadium was easy to get to and parking was only $4, which is a bonus I imagine. I got in with no problems (thankfully) and got on the field in time for the AL team taking BP. I got the people I needed, and headed up to the press box, where, of course, no seats were left. I did get a table of sorts (it’s like a bar-type table), but no chair. Which was fine. Filed a side bar (after finding what I needed to do to get an outside line), covered the game, talked to who I needed to, and then filed that.

(later tonight, if I have the energy, I’m going to do a blog entry on the people in the press box. Very interesting to say the least).

The ride how was uneventful for the most part. I didn’t get lost, but got nailed in some traffic just above Yankee Stadium (which, even though I hate the Yanks, is pretty neat to see as you go by on the highway) because of night construction. The only other thing I saw was a truck had messed up one of the toll booth entry ways on the thruway. Looks like he had clipped it coming in. The truck was still there and things were banged up!) Made it through everything OK though.

Overall it wasn’t a bad experience. Thanfully, they announced next year’s game would be in Aberdeen, so if I get sent, I’ll get to check that place out. And not have to drive to New York City.

Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! You know, Harper is counting down to Santa Paws! 

You know, of course, Santa Paws travels with Santa Clause, making sure to find treats and toys for all the good little doggies! (We know they are all deserving, right?) So, Harper put out some milk for the big guy, carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer, and special cookies for Santa Paws! She is ready!

The colors in the sky were fantastic and the scene was nice looking (though, to be fair, I drove by what I think would have been a better scene -- the valley and hills full of snow etc.)

I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I have her. It’s been a year and four months and she makes me smile and laugh more each day. It’s amazing how much a dog changes your look on life, and how much joy they can bring.

I’ve recently realized how many photos I have to I’ve recently realized how many photos I have to post here, as well as on Harper’s (@harper_dublin) account). So, as I start to transfer photos, I’ll try and catch up. So photos coming could be from all seasons and who knows when. 🤣

This one is recent from the courthouse square in Delhi. We had some pretty good fall colors this year.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
