Hot Block

Oh man. My new block is great! There is a police station at the end of the block (Mom). Across the street from my apartment building and down the street about 20 yards is this little side street full of cafés. I ate dinner at a great one last night and have already identified several more I want to try. There are also a couple of bars right on my street, although they may be a little ‘club/lounge’ and I am a little more ‘pub/dive’. (I have not found an equivalent for Blue & Gold just yet.) There is also a 24 hour shop on the corner that is pretty much a bodega. This will be crucial for my survival.

Oh yeah, all those cafés: They serve brunch! There is nothing I enjoy more than a good brunch. I will be searching for a good bloody mary this Saturday prior to doing my taxes. Woo Woo.

I am just sick about this: My ambush teammate Emma tore her ACL. Emma could not be a sweeter girl and is a great person and a hot little player. This is a big injury and she’ll need surgery and a lot of rehab. With J-Christ, Brenda and now Emma, Ambush is running at 1 per year for this devastating injury. (You could go 4 for 4 if you go back to Pauline.) Here’s wishing Emma all the best in her recovery and also wishing that the Sports Therapist could come up with some exercises to prevent this injury.

I met my boss today. He seems really nice. I think this is some mild progress.

I got the electricity turned on in my apartment. It’s even better with the lights on and the stainless steel fridge running.

It looks like I won’t get my stuff delivered until next week. We’ll see. I’ll keep you posted.

Tomorrow I have a BBQ to attend.

Lynn, I found the boomerangs in a tourist shop, do you really want one? I’m afraid that if I mail it to you it will just come back.

ps: More proof that everyone hates clowns.
