I’m no Billy Donovan but…

1 Comment / Daily Dose, Work /

For a few days now TW has been calling me “Billy Donovan”. I have been less than amused. I may live in Gainesville, drive through UF everyday, but I am not UF fan. Heck I suggested Spurrier come back and take his place. See, I can’t even keep my football and basketball coaches straight.

I do have some stuff in common with Billy right now. But I’m smarter than he is. Even without a career coach. Oh wait, my mom and TW happen to be pretty good career coaches. Maybe he should have walked across campus and talked to TW before he made his decision – and then changed his mind.

It’s like rain after you wash your car!

I spent my weekend doing this:

That would be 53 bags of leaves and ferns. 53 and the front yard isn’t even close to being free of leaves or the ferns that have been taking over the yard. 53.

And then this pulls up in front of the house this morning.

That would be the tree truck. Which means more leaves will fall when they do whatever trimming the city has requested they do.

Sheesh.

I love New York

Some quick thoughts about our trip to “the city” (I still call it that, at least in my head. Years of living in Jersey will do that to you, I guess.)

1. Gas should not be cheaper in NYC than it is in Florida.

2. Pastis has great breakfast.

3. This was our first trip since 9/11 and it was much more difficult to get our bearings without the Twin Towers. I didn’t expect that.

4. I love corner delis where you can get two egg & cheese sandwiches on a hero with two cups of coffee for $5.

5. S’mac makes excellent macaroni & cheese. I had the goat cheese, spinach and olive. TW had the four cheese. Awesome.

6. The Point Knitting Cafe folks weren’t snobby at all!

7. The Gansevoort has great robes and an interesting mini bar (mile high club sex kit!). They also had nice toiletries and decent sheets. The room, however, was cold even before the weather turned cold. The video screen in the elevator – crazy weird. I finally decided it is some sort of tribue to Alex Grey and then I was ok with it. Sort of.

8. 36 hours in The City is not enough time, particularly when 5 hours of that is spent in an office!
