While Ryan has been all over the the Atlantic Ocean this month, I have been working and entertaining a friend from Ireland . We had a helluva time visiting our favorite watering holes in NYC. I have a few thoughts on a few matters that I would love to share with you.
1. NJ Transit is the worst and pretty much backgrounds: LIRR and Metro North, I apologize for complaining about you in the past. NJ transit is stuck in the 80s...the 1880s.
2. The best bar in NYC you have not been to: It pains me to write about this and ruin the best kept secret but then again, it is New York City. O'Neil's Boat Basin on West 79th street is the greatest spot for summer city drinking. Fair price, food is basic, and the atmosphere is great. Also, Nathan would agree with this post because it is VERY dog friendly.
3. The Olympics are over: The USA won the Medal Count and overall Gold Medals. To all the USA athletes who trained so hard (win or lose) thank you!
4. The November Match up is set: In one corner is Obama/Biden and in the other Romney/Ryan. Don't be surprised if Biden all of a sudden "retires" from politics in the next 3 weeks.
5. Top 20 under 20: Peter Thiel (creator of PayPal) is giving 20 young people 2 years and $100,000 to pursue their dream. Pretty cool that this Billionaire is helping find the next big inventors.
6. Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Jake Owen, and Grace Potter ROCK!: I was fortunate enough to see this star studded concert with my best friends. Words can't describe the talent the performers have nor the memories I have from this day.
7. All we are is dust in the wind: Had some notable deaths this week. Johnny Pesky (Red Sox, 92), Ron Palillo (Welcome Back, Kotter. 63), Helen Gurley Brown (Cosmopolitan editor, 90)
8. Blog I have been reading: Not that deep but still always have funny commentary on random things. www.Bminusblogs.com and follow them on twitter @BminusBlogs
9. MLB season is HEATING up: I smell playoff baseball....I just that aroma hope its coming from the Bronx and not from Baltimore!
10. Happy 25th Birthday to Tim Tebow: Your birthday wish should be for the Jets to win the Super Bowl.
