so i slept one hour last night.  i was up by 1 am.  by that count, i've been up for 24 consecutive hours.  i don't do so well without sleep, yo.

I went to the airport.  my "bag" looked suspicious so they xrayed my "balls."  specifically, these were baseballs.  the airport "dude" sifted through my bag, found two worn out baseballs, put them in the special tub, and sent them them through a special check.  my balls were clean!!!  (except for a wee bit of dirt).  

After he let me go i told him, "thank you kindly generous sir.  thank you for protecting U.S. citizens."  If the Al-Quaeda had a baseball team, their trademark play would be the suicide squeeze.

delayed flight.  got to nyc by 1:30.  mike and i wandered around for some time  looking for food.  we finally decided on the grocery store grilled chicken salad.  We washed it down with coconut water (mike's favorite drink).  Coconut water has more potassium than 2 bananas and more flavor than half a banana.    We walked over to central park, found ourselves a nice big rock, and ate a nice lunch next to one of the ponds.  As i was nibbling on my salad, I decided to perform an experiment.  My question was, "will a duck eat chicken?"

The Answer is yes.  ducks gladly eat chicken.  although i did not have the equipment to test this, I also readily believe that ducks will gladly eat a chicken sandwich.
