New time killing opportunities these past few days with seeing the sights on the city I was born in and been living near for my whole life. The reason was our good family friend came into town to visit and we used him as an excuse to ride the Circle Line around Manhattan. NYC has quite a bit to see and as long as the crowds are minimal and you don't make me hang off the 89th floor of a skyscraper I have fun. Overall it was a great day and a great weekend.. Time killing at its most productive. (We even discussed some good business ideas as we are all interested in a new routine while making some money)...
As part of the day's festivities we saw a "mentalist" show at a small theater downtown.. Small as in about 75 seats. Overall it was good, not great. Lots of numbers gags and card gags. It does get you talking after the show trying to figure out "how the hell did he do that?".. Is there such a thing as mind reading (I dunno .. are there UFOs?).. two of the four of us were called up as "volunteers".. Luckily the two most reluctant ones - my son and I - were skipped.. it must have been the look on our faces or the memory I had of being called up by a very amateurish magician years ago. This nudnik put my neck in a clamp and didn't realize he was choking me until I couldn't answer him..Good thing he didn't hypnotize me as I'd still be clucking like a chicken.
The time killing week continues as I am off to Boston to meet another friend to see the Yankees and Red Sox play at Fenway..Maybe I'll bring my big foam finger and adjust it accordingly being the Yankee fan that I am.. (more to follow)...
