SOoooooo last week in short.
\nSaturday my parents flew in at around 7:30 and I discovered the beauty of cabs + WTC path train. <\/p>\n
Sunday i took my parents to the Staten Island Ferry and we walked around southern NYC. It was cold.<\/p>\n
Monday, I went to work. Afterwards i camed home and took my parents to see Blue Man Group. I enjoyed the hell out of the performance, and they did also.<\/p>\n
Tuesday, I went to work. Afterwards we went to a Mexifunk Cocina (its ko “seen” ah for the unintelligent people….. in this world…. the digital world. IT is not ko ki na even if that feels better for the tongue. Fuck the tongue’s feelings.) After that we saw Harry Potter’s fourth movie. It was fun, but required keeping dad out far beyond his bedtime.<\/p>\n
Wednesday, I went to work. I left 2 hours early. Dad and I spent the night talking and freezing. We went to the Village Vanguard, but it wasn’t our kind of band. They played “Free” jazz which is apparently described best as, “Three or more instruments are wandering through a musical field, and maybe those three instruments can work together to create something, but they may not.” My own definition BTW.<\/p>\n
Thursday, No work. Turkey day. Remember past pacts we broke with the Native tribes of America. Feel sorrow for your heritage in being a liar. Move on. Mary cooked the turkey, it turned out very successful. <\/p>\n
Friday, No work again. Went to Atlantic City. Did you know the only real thing there are outlet stores and casinos. Mainstay is gambling. Lost fourty dollars got annoyed and didn’t touch anything else. It was not fun how fast that fourty dollars went. Enjoyed spending time with dad. The drive down there was interesting. I don’t drive “defensively” according to dad. I “jerk” to much. So does every cab driver in New York city btw.<\/p>\n
Saturday, No work. Mary and Mom went to Greenwich Village walked around took pictures and then met up with me and dad at the mall. Dad and I planned to play pool, but the poolhall was closed. We bought three board games and came home after eating some very nice italian food.
\n– boggle
\n– cranium
\n– Wheel of Fortune
\n— we played this, it was fun. I guess. Kind of easy, which was annoying.
\nWent to sleep fairly early because mom and dad’s plan left at 6:58.<\/p>\n
Sunday. Morning of rush.
\nAfter much debate about how we should procede, Mary proposed that the best route is 33rd street because there is definitely going to be a cab there. I get a cab phone number and we plan to be up and to the path train by 4:13.
\nWoke up late. Startling. Mom and Dad woke up at 3:30 instead of 3:00 and we woke up at 3:45. It was a rush. Mary went into the shower. came out at 4:00. Path train left at 4:13.
\n………………………………. add stress here.
\nWe cut down the stairs and everything short of running, we get there at 4:14 to see the train pull out. We get concerned. It hits me that we should go to WTC because it is a quicker ride into manhattan. Mary and I are still concerned about the availability of cabs att the WTC, but feel confident because of the phone number back up we have.
\nGetting to the WTC and outside we are swarmed with cabs. it is 5:02 by the time we get a cab and then 5:30 by the time we get to the Airport and we get mom’s tickets. There some difficulties getting her tickets via the kiosk, so we cut infront of a bunch of people and got the tickets via representative. 5:35 we are having breakfast joking about how we rushed and made dad work harder then he should have climbing stairs quickly.
\nsinging the glories of the taxi services and hailing another taxi to take us home at 6:00, we get stuck with a cab that overcharges us. He took the longest route i’ve ever seen. 27 $ cab ride turned into a 40 $ cab ride in a couple minutes. I’m pissed because he was allowed to jip us because we were in a hurry to get home, and didn’t take the couple minutes to go downstairs to the cab vendor. <\/p>\n
All the same. Lesson Learned. And now it is 7:30 and i’m still awake typing this up. I wanted to get it out of my system. I’m going to try and sleep soon.<\/p>\n
In the end, my parents trip here was awesome. I’m over joyed about the whole experience. Not to mention in a couple days it will be a birthday……….. and i will be able to cry if i want to. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
