I Came Here To Do Two Things...

10:35 AM Posted by Andy (Fields, to avoid confusion)

So I just wanted to relay the immense joy and incredible excitement that I'm feeling right now - 


I leave for NYC tonight at 11:30 (sidenote: red-eye... not too excited about that, but I'm used to it by now.  You see, having family, friends and events happening on the east coast all the time, you have to fly into negative time, meaning not only do you lose the travel time, but also another four hours due to time zones... I don't know why I'm explaining this, we all went to fourth grade...)

While in NYC I'll be going to not one but TWO Yankees games as they face off against the Baltimore Orioles... I'll be making the
pilgrimage alone, just like I did last year.  You see, last year (read about the trip here) I went to a series in the last year of Old Yankee Stadium, a haaj that I made alone and loved every minute of it, including when I caught a ball from Melky Cabrera...

So this year I am repeating for the first year of New Yankee Stadium... and yes, I WILL come back with a special new Yankee Stadium Ball, if only by sheer force of will... the force... or gaia... or whatever...

So, in honor of my Yanks trip, which is the SOLE purpose of this trip, I present to you:

I came here to do two things: _____________ and kick ass, and I'm _________.

Watch the Yanks :: all done watching the Yanks...

Eat some pizza :: all out of pizza...

Drink a smoothie :: still waiting on the other Jamba Juice girl cause she's the one who makes the really good smoothies...

Play chess :: willing to combine the two... would you like to play a game of chess?

Renew my driver's license :: surprised at how many people are already here at 8:00 am...

Do five minutes of stand-up at open mic night :: I just got booed off stage...

Get my appendix out :: still kind of groggy from the anesthesia... can you wait around a while?

Teach my gospel doctrine class :: I just found out it's not my week to teach...

Update my Blog :: DONE!
