Tonight, immediately after work its straight to the highway and directly to Red Bank with Marissa to see Steve Forbert. I don't know him much but Marissa is a big fan and I don't see how I could ever say no to free music, nice weather, and wine with good company. After that we'll be hightailing it back to Wayne so I can make an early morning doctor's appointment and then it's into the city to watch the Yanks trounce on the Devil Rays. I hope to hell that A-Rod has a good night tonight... because I will become enraged if I have to sit through an entire game with people amped up on booing the hell out of him, which clearly has a negative effect on his game. Yes, I understand.. he makes a lot of money and you think it's funny to boo him when he doesn't do well... but seriously, enough already. If you're a Yankee fan and want the team to do good, why would you take part in booing him at every available opportunity? I'm not worried about him, though. I think he'll have a great second half. And speaking of second halves, I'm incredibly excited to be going to my first game since early in the season. Yankee Stadium after the All-Star break might very well be my favorite place in the world. There will be much drinking of beers and much fun if I have anything to do with it.

Sunday I'm going to take a shot at playing soccer again. The soreness from last Sunday's game has finally left me, so I think it's time to remind my head how out of shape my body is again. Plus, it's a hell of a lot of fun.

It'll be Monday before I know it. Bummer. But since it'll be the product of a weekend filled with awesomeness, I think I'm ok with it.
