NY Yankess

A trip to Yankee Stadium. Got there 3 hours before the game and walked to where Michelle grew up in the South Bronx. 30 blocks later I feared for my life as she basked in her memories of chocolate malts at Gene's (now Tom's) and running after the pigeons in the park with her grandparents. The park was a triangular row of benches filled with meth addicts. Times change.

We went to the game and hung for a few hours drinking with the Yankee fans. They are all heartbroken over the building of the new stadium. Season ticket prices quadruple and it is no longer a place for the fans. Corporate America takes over ...but the Yankess have always been a sell out.

We've been eating tons of NY pizza, corn beef sandwiches and saying to hell with cholesterol. It's all good.
