Ups and Downs of the week.
New York City – Heading home tomorrow, but it’s been a great week. Fantastic restaurants here.
 Offshore drilling – No more permits until the oil companies can prove they can stop disasters like this.
Red Sox – They sweep the Rays, best team in the majors (in their own park, no less), and then falter against a paltry team like Kansas City at Fenway. I just don’t understand.
Summertime – It’s here in full bloom.
 Plantar Fasciitis – Severely curbed my walking in NYC. Ouch.
Celtics – Finally got past the Magic. Celtics-Lakers in the finals. A classic matchup.
Wed 26 May 2010
While I pity anyone who will be attending the 2014 Super Bowl, I have to say NYC is still a great place to visit.

Ups and Downs of the week.
Cool Cars -Went by Isringhausen today. Lots of awesome machines.
 Oil Spill – What a mess.
 Red Sox – Just when you think there’s hope, they play like doo-doo again.
Little bit of time off – I need it.

Ups and Downs of the week.
Formula One – Monaco this weekend. Best race on the circuit. My dream is to see a Monaco GP in person. Unless I hit the lottery, it’ll never happen, though.
 Drill baby, drill! – Maybe not so much.
 Bruins – I never expected them to get this far, but it’s sad that they blew a 3-0 series lead and a 3-0 lead in Game 7. Gonna be a long off-season for those guys.
Red Sox – Looking steadier. Offense is coming around and the starting pitching is slowly finding the groove.
Celtics – Made the Cavs look like amateurs. On to the Magic.
 Highway Construction – It’s that time of year again. Seems they never finish it.
Weather – Aside from the occasional shower, the weather has been awesome. I love temps in the 60s and 70s.
Spies of the Balkans – Alan Furst’s new book is out. Can’t wait to read it. He is always excellent.
400th Post – Small milestone here on Randomography.
New Garage Door – No more worries about it falling in on the cars.

Ups and Downs of the week.
Formula One – Back in Europe. The best part of the season.
 Disasters -Tennessee floods, oil spill in the gulf, tornadoes all around. Nasty spring so far.
 Red Sox- They swept the Halos, but they lost a game tonight to the Yankmees. Beckett has some serious head problems. Is there a shrink in the house?
Bruins – Dealing with it. They lost a hard fought game tonight, but I’m sure they’ll prevail and move on.
Celtics – They looked awesome for a couple of games, but LeBron and the Cavs aren’t going to roll over and die.
 Stock Market -A typo can throw the whole system into a tailspin?
School’s Out – No more classes. Just have to write a thesis and I’m done.
