I owe my love of sports to my mother. It’s an unusual thing, as most parent-child sports bonding stories are father...

Dear DJ,
So, this is it. You finally made it. Today, you’ll put on a cap and gown and you will be...
I think the Belt Parkway is made of daydreams & wishes. Or extremely rusted mystery metal. (Taken with instagram)

154,549 ballots were cast yesterday. That's about 17% turnout, with the approximate number of registered voters in Nassau County in the area of 900,000. I'm anxious to see what's next to keep the Islanders here. I'm disappointed to see the indifference, so obvious in the numbers.
I just would like to see people participate in politics. Nothing crazy, just a little self education and participation. Indifference has an insidious effect.

My gripe in a nutshell is that I wish some tasting room staff would attempt to read the customer before deciding whether he or she is there to enjoy wine or to get blasted. Honestly, I’m a combination of both, but definitely toward the enjoyment end of the spectrum. Don’t just pour the shit, I can get that at a bar. Tell me a little something about it, I’m there for a reason. Most wineries are great about it, but unfortunately not all.
I should have taken more pictures. I wish I had more money to buy more wine this weekend. That being said, I had a wonderful time on the north fork with my sister. I haven’t laughed so much in a long time. I’ll lay it down sometime tonight or tomorrow.
When the space shuttle arrives back on Earth, we all need to be dressed up in ape costumes. We need everyone in America to do it or it won’t work. Pass it on.
Dear Everyone. See above. Do not mess this up. Failure is not an option.
If only. I’m taking this thought of this with me today, it might end up being my safe place.

I have trouble swallowing when I really think about it. The world seems very expensive lately. It just does. And I don’t know what to do about that.
I live on Long Island. I grew up in New York City. With regard to the five boroughs, Nassau and Suffolk Counties, most excursions aren’t of the overnight variety, however, the farthest destinations of the North and South Forks are 90 and 100 mile drives, respectively. I had a notion to drive out on a Friday, drink a respectable amount of wine, eat well, stay the night, indulge in some local spa services the next day and take our asses home.
It’s come to my attention that I’m naive.
Every hotel/motel/b&b/inn etc I’ve checked requires a two night stay during the “high season”. I don’t want to stay two nights. I live “here”. I just wanted to have a “girly” weekend, meaning Friday afternoon through Saturday evening, because that’s what I wanted, as a consumer who is willing to give someone else my money.
I’m still searching. We might end up upstate, or hop on the ferry to Massachusetts, Rhode Island, or even Connecticut. I want to give you my money, Suffolk County. You’re behaving like a spoiled child. You might want to reexamine that behavior.
