Nice day here in NY...
After all the rain this week, we finally have a pretty nice day here. K and I have been out most of the morning, pulling up the remaining, unbroken stones from our old, destroyed patio. We've got a nice pile of weathered pavers out there, but now I feel like going back to bed.
The Knicks have their first playoff appearance in three years this afternoon against the Nets. They may not last too long, but you never know - after all, the last time a low-seeded Knicks team made the playoffs, they got to the Finals. I'm not saying they've got a great chance to do that, but it'll be nice to see them back in post-season play. Wonder if they'll hit the floor wearing the black shoes, like Ewing's team used to...
And tonight I've got a gig out here on Long Island, so a part of the day will be spent re-stringing guitars. One of my favorite aspects of guitar-slinging, for sure.
And it looks as though I'm edging up on 500,000 visits to this page, and might hit it by Monday. Not Atrios hits, but still not bad.

Well, *I* read you every day. I'd rather have links to the news plus commentary, instead of just something like "Oy" plus a link.

Thank you, Kate.
Being a motormouth, I don't think I could post without comment.

(Did you really think I was going to leave that just SITTING THERE?)
Wow. Half a mil. If each of those people sent you a buck, you could pay off half your credit cards...

Hah! I'm famous! Or at least an inspiration to one someone.
I'll take it. :p

Editor, one of the things I always mean to tell you is that I loved your little tone-of-voice editorializing on the news when you were doing the i.e. America Radio gig. Usually these were at the end, the light bit, when you were obviously amused; but sometimes it would creep into another news story. I could "hear" you rolling your eyes in disgust sometimes.
That's a reason I read this blog as well. You comment upon the story as well as report on it -- complete with profanity when the story warrants it. I like that.

You guys have got me giggling over here...
After hearing about more dead soldiers and people threatening to kill Jamie Gorelick, I deperately needed it. Thank you both.
