I can not wait for this. These guys are incredible.
Our tactics included jumping down to the river front and climbing the rocks along the East River, riding the bus from one end of the island to another while ducked among the civilians, and asking a stranger for a ride right to the flag. I played defense in the third match, and Alex Sidtis flanked us from the south end of the island. The base commander, Kevin was the first to spot him and he called me up to follow him. My job was a roving defender, watching the bus route, as well as the West and South approaches, so I tailed him from a distance. I hid in the trees by the play ground, and followed his bright blue shirt and red cap. He eventually got into a crowd outside the hospital, where I ran after him, following him around a corner, and he was nowhere to be found. I returned to my position, where I eventually saw another red team member in a white shirt coming up along the water from the south. I couldn't see who it was, but I saw the red flags hanging from his belt. I started tailing him from a distance. When I ran to catch up with him after he turned a corner, again, he was gone. I went back to the playground, where I saw Alex hiding behind the hand ball court, changing from a white shirt back into a blue shirt.
The whole day was awesome. My blue team won two out of three games.

Here's what I heard.
"I was at the airport until 3 waiting for my nephews flight."
"Delayed?"
"Yeah. They kept pushing it back an hour each hour."
"Where was he coming from?"
"Hammy. But they routed him through Damuse."
"Ah."

I stood next to a couple Upper West Side type families with loud, young children on the A train yesterday. We stopped at 34th street, and stayed there with the doors open for a few minutes while we had a red signal. As we stood there, a man with unwashed hair, black jeans, dirty boots, a torn black sweater with two unbuttoned collared shirts underneath, a big, dirty, khaki jacket, and an empty Pepsi can came up to the doors of our car and started jerking about as he shouted something like "Listen to me! Clamor bump bump jam to the bump! Argue traffic, listen! Bump! Bump!" He ran down to the next door and shouted the same general ideas to the people there, then came back to us. "If you bump! Jamma jamma! Listen to the bump! Time jam police can bump!" He took his Pepsi can and crushed it on the subway car above the doors as they closed. Once the train got underway, one of the parents said to the kids, who stopped talking during the whole speech, "Don't worry about him, he's just being silly, like your Auntie."
Uh oh, someone has an embarrassment in the family.

Speaking of kids on Subways, how do parents handle it? I'm sure as a kid there were plenty of times I refused to get ot of the car because I didn't want to go where we were going (like maybe those kids whenever they go to their Auntie's). When a kid doesn't want to get off the subway in the thirty seconds before the door closes, the next thing you know, you could be in Harlem. As much as New York Parents can be annoying, I do sympathize.
"I hope he arouses the fire that's dormant in the innermost recesses of my soul, I plan to face him with the zeal of a challenger.''
Ichiro Suzuki on facing Daisuke Matsuzaka for the first time in America. I want so badly to get excited about the Mariners this year, especially with King Felix looking like a Future Hall of Famer, but I'm afraid of the long term, when Felix and Ichiro break our hearts and follow A-Rod, Griffey, and the Big Unit out to sunnier skies.

My friend Jeremy told me about a bit of graffiti in the Union Square subway station that always confused him, "Film does not equal cinema." What does that even mean? What made someone feel so strongly about that that they sharpied it onto a pole? It's something that has been on his mind for months now.
This last week he house sat for the Executive Director of The Atlantic Theater. His first morning there, he went down the stairs of the B and Q Prospect Ave subway station and noticed someone had sharpied on a pole "Film and cinema are actually the same thing." You never know where the answer is going to be.
