And We're Back!
Hey team, sorry for the lack of posts recently.
This past week me and Little Miss Citi were in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico where the temperature was in the high 70s/low 80s and the sky couldn't have been more blue. Needless to say it was completely miserable coming back to high single-digit temperatures here in NYC, but c'est la vie.
It was a heck of a time down there, I'll tell you. Good food, good people, and plenty of new experiences to be had. On Thursday we went whale watching in the bay, then on Friday we went zip-lining through the surrounding mountains.
If you've never done either, do both. Watching those whales flop in and out of the water was one of those transcendent experiences that lets even a city boy like me realize the awesomeness of nature. Zip-lining, meanwhile, is just a rush.
You hang on for dear life as you zip over cavernous ravines, hundreds of feet in the air. There's definitely an "oh shit" moment before you set forth on each line, but the feeling you get as you zoom through the air is unlike anything I'd ever experienced.
Anyway, we got back late last night, watching the Jets game on our flight which made the four hours fly by. It was a nice diversion from my fear of flying (improving!), but the result obviously sucked. It would have been really exciting if they'd won.
In some respects it kind of reminds me of the Mets in 2006. You come so close, you comeback so furiously, and then, just when you finally let yourself believe a miracle is on the way, the air comes flying out of the balloon. Let's hope they don't have to wait five years (and counting) to get another chance at reaching the Super Bowl.
No matter the result, it was cool flying in last night and seeing the Empire State Building lit in green and white, and the antenna of the New York Times building in green.
But I guess that means the Knicks will have my complete and undivided attention the next three weeks until pitchers and catchers report.
As I write this the Knicks are putting their 6-game losing streak behind them, just in time for the Heat's return trip to New York. The Glass Man and Y2K Godfather Sippy Momo will be in the building, my first Knicks game in two years I want to say.
As for the Mets... no big player moves today, can you believe it? 2011 Mets... at least by September I'll be in Boston, the better to cheer on the Red Sox with gusto.
