My brother lives in NYC. This is a picture he just took. If you can’t tell, it’s a red tailed hawk with his prey, a NYC pigeon. Freaking sweet!

BBQ with Cake
For my birthday Rachel organized a surprise party by tricking me into a dinner at Dinosaur BBQ. It was a load of fun and completely unexpected. It was my first surprise party and I’d call it a success.
To top off the great BBQ dinner at Dinosaur Rachel got everybody together for the Cake concert. Cake is one of my favorite bands and she had been making excuses for why we weren’t able to go. When I opened my birthday card at dinner and found 2 tickets for the concert I was ecstatic. The concert was better than I could imagine. Cake turns out to be one of those bands that sounds just as good if not better live than on their pre-recorded music.
An awesome birthday thanks to the worlds best wife.
And yes, I know this post is 2 months late. Sue me.
And Now I Feel Old
My niece Jennifer was married to Jeremy Pike last Friday April 18th. It was a Beautiful Ceremony at the Christian Community Church of East Williamson. Rachel and I were able to see some people we haven’t seen since our wedding including my Brother! Always a good time.
The only problem is. Now I feel Old. Is that wierd? She’s only my niece and really only 6 years younger.
Mets 1 Yankees 0
Friday I drove down to Poughkeepsie to see Charles for his birthday. After arriving we went straight to the city to meet some friends of his and goto the Mets game. The Mets won. The game had nothing to do with the Yankees I just like to taunt Yankee fans. After the game we met up with Sanjay for a lesson in expensive drinking and a place to stay.
Saturday Charles headed back to Poughkeepsie while I headed to the International Car Show with Sanjay. Check out the 2008 Ferrari for a sample. I’ll post a link to the whole gallery once the photo gallery comes back up. After the car show we met my Brother for sushi at Lan and had probably the best sushi I’ve ever had. After dinner my brother and I went to one of NYC’s oldest pubs McSorley’s for some Beers. They only give you two options, Light or Dark McSorley’s and when you order a drink they always give you 2 instead of 1. After that it was time to catch the train back to Poughkeepsie so we said our good byes and headed out.
That’s my trip in a nutshell.
