Ok... so this morning I was up and ahead of schedule when I left the apartment, and I swear to you that the minute that I stepped out the door the heavens opened up. So my 100 ft to the subway had me pretty wet already, but what I faced just down the stairs was something I have ever only had to do in a foreign country on missions. As I walked into the subway station I hear the crazy sound of rushing water, and once down the first flight of stairs I see it, a lake right at the bottom of the only staircase to the downtown train and no way around. I stood there pondering for a minute what might be in that lake based on the colors floating around on it's surface. After watching a couple women in much dressier clothes than I venture thru the foot to foot and a half deep lake I sucked it up and followed them, and said to myself... "Unique New York" So now my feet are uncomfortably wet and I really hate it.

The perfect way to celebrate the 4th
If my father were reading this post I know that he would argue with me between baseball and camping somewhere in the north woods, being the perfect 4th of July mode of celebration. But I would have to say that watching the Twins beat the Yankees today was a pretty good. Fireworks are not in my plan since they are downtown at the Seaport where there will be a million people and since I live with fireworks going off every night in the street below my apartment I don't feel the need to see them this year. I was thinking today about other 4th of July memories that I have, and other than many many camping stories I was recalling the summer of 95 when I was in San Salvador, El Salvador with Teen Mania. We were invited to the American University in the city and they had a big shindig complete with US Marines cooking beer brats! I remember how patriotic I felt and how interesting it was to celebrate while being in another country. And as for me today I have just been inspired by the smell of lighter fluid and Barbecue that I am heading to the market to get me a steak!

Waking up in a war zone!
The cause of the sound and shaking is seen in this picture that I took from my bedroom window.... can you find the open manhole? Yes that was it... 5 manhole covers blew out and broke in the street. It was nice to hear that was it, but I don't want to be awoken like that again!
