Another day, crazy weather, pinched nerve, Sunday. Sunny cool morning, got bagels, eggs and the New York papers. It was all done due to the benefit of coffee. What a difference it makes. Bill doesn’t drink coffee, and sort of looks down on people that do. Me? Obviously I need that final jolt to the system before heading out into the world. It’s more for the benefit of the world than for me actually.

Saw Julio briefly this morning as I handed him his newspaper and bagel. He was preparing to really clean the apartment since Mrs. Stine Lopez was due to arrive in just a matter of days. We chatted briefly knowing that we’d see each other tonight to watch the Sopranos. And Big Love.

I read the papers and watched the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which was actually ok. Didn’t deserve the thrashing it got when it was originally released. Mos Def was as good looking as ever.

Got a phone call from my brother Frank who was imploring me to go out and buy the Bergen Record. He wouldn’t tell me why but insisted that I should. Apparently it was big news. So I had a La Gloria Cubana and walked out into the beginnings of a major downpour. Had to go to two newsstands before I could get the paper. I asked for a plastic bag for the paper would have been soaked from the rain. The cigar was fine though.

Came back home and started reading the Sports section where Frank said to look. And there it was, my niece and goddaughter Meghan is getting married to Rob. They’re a great couple very cute and very much in love. Rob proposed on one knee in front of hundred of fellow coaches at a track meet coaches meeting. So fantastically sweet. Meghan of course accepted. There’s a nice picture of the two of them. If I could I will make a pdf of the article with picture and post it.

The rain has stopped bright and sunny and very windy. I can hear it creaking around the building. The pinched nerve comes and goes. Right now it’s not here. Said it was going out for some smokes. Now it’s back. Now it’s gone. Read a lot of magazines that I’ve been trying to keep up with and haven’t even touched the New Yorker, which I am behind a few weeks already.

Bill is at Foxwoods again though at this time he’s probably legging it back to this area. He will probably show up mid Sopranos, or right before Big Love. Season is winding down for both shows and it’s starting to get really interesting.

There’s also a show I plan on watching, Baghdad ER a cinema verite or a documentary on life and death for the soldiers. Takes place in an ER in Baghdad I guess.

I was supposed to hang with Juan but he spent the night in Princeton at a party, and I’m not really up for anything due to the bent look on my neck. Postponed!
