NY Players in DC

So now that the long weekend is well over and Wednesday has come I am finding the time to sit and post about the things that have been going on since Thanksgiving.

I just posted a few pictures from Thanksgiving Parade but after the parade was packing for a volleyball tournament in Washington DC.

Went down with a team of my friends who play in both Gotham and Urban here in NYC.

We were playing in a new division, BB+. It is equal mix of rated A and BB players and I was looking forward to it.

Kind of funny how the last few tournaments I have been to I have ended up playing with a setter who I had never met before we stepped on the court. But let me see both times have been very enjoyable; the first was a great setter who led our team through some great games and the second from the past weekend was just as good but he made me laugh and be silly throughout the weekend. I look forward to hanging out with him again really soon even though he is up in Toronto.

We finished our first day 2wins and 6 losses leaving us at the bottom of the pack, but come the second day and re-jiggering some things in our line up led us to a third place medal. I was very happy with it. I don't think I played as well as I have been this season but I had my serves, blocks and I was passing some good balls when need be.

The ride home with my friends teammate Philton and his husband Thomas was great as I never get to spend that much time with them on a personal basis. Love them both.

Now I am back home for two days and still trying to find the time to empty the DVR.

Just had to be noted.

So if you were in NYC for the last 2 days you may have seen the news about the Eastside madam who was arrested Monday or Tuesday. Funny thing is they arrested her at her apartment which happens to be across the street from me.(#2 in picture above). Now if you remember from a few weeks ago Governor Spitzer resigned his office and that is also just caddy corner to my building over on 3rd avenue.(#1 in picture above). There is word that this Madam had the black book that had the former Gov. and many others in it. She says she doesn't. I guess we will find out. Funny to to me though that in the picture above he basically could have walked over with a nice appointment after he resigned just a half a block away. PS: Was in a hurry to post so don't yell at me for the crude numbers on the pictures. Haha.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah......

We were standing at that sign for a few minutes trying to figure out how to say it and then why someone would make the obvious mistake and not fix it eventually. This shot was on the way to my friend Everett's bday party out in Astoria. It was a train ride and a bit of a walk and no friends showed up, I would have killed them but we had a good time anyway. I went out with my friend Steve and we met up with Jorge and his hubby Steve. I wrote about the event a bit ago. These are the Hell Gate Social pics.
