1) At nearly 1 AM Saturday morning, eight hours after I get back to JFK from Seattle, I'm sitting in front of the tube watching the longest scoreless tie in Yankee - Red Sox history when A-Rod gets a hanging curve just above the knees and hits it so hard and so fast that the ball is out of the picture and clearly gone before the mind can even compute that he's hit it. Yankees go on to sweep four, and October here we come.
2) Bianca and I are at the Lincoln Center multiplex Saturday night, in the second row for the mostly entertaining, but just a bit too impressed with itself 500 Days of Summer when a guy sneaks in from another theater in the complex, takes a seat in the front row, takes a call on his cell phone, and spends the next hour in the mostly dark drawing on a sketch pad, sketches that have nothing to do with what's on the screen.
3) Sunday morning 8:15 or so I'm riding home with hot bagels and pedal past a Columbia doorway where a guy in blue hospital orderly garb -- apparently with Blue Tooth activated, but since this is after all NYC maybe declaiming to himself , "I don't want a hooker, I want a girlfriend!"
4) It's now August 10 and for the first time this summer NYC will hit 90 degrees.
5) Pretenders and Cat Power on Summer Stage in Central Park tonight and Leonard Cohen tickets bought for his MSG stop October 23.
Yes to it all.
