It's been a long time since I wrote anything on this blog. I've been tweeting and have been keeping those who care updated about my musings that way.
I'm watching Major League Baseball playoffs---who will be the champions of the American League? Well--I don't usually route for the AL. I'm a born MET fan--but, the native New Yorker in me flared up late last week as I turned on the TV and got caught up in the heavily modulated audio of a Los Angeles crowd cheering and then growing eerily silence as the Yanks rallied. And, there's something about that NY logo that just tugged at me. I just couldn't root against it.
I always said that I was a NY chauvinist. Somewhere I have a Polaroid of the NY State license plates that I had on my '87 Hyundai, taken the night before I mailed them back to the DOV in Albany. My husband, at that time, couldn't understand it I think he might get it now. He has the same set of Maryland plates on his car that he's had on all of his cars, since 1985. There's a hologram built into the plates of the date. And, I had to re-paint the letters and numbers black and white out some rusty points last year. It's ok--the lady at the DMV in Silver Spring said it was OK.
So, what's my point? I'm not sure. I suppose I'm writing musings on this lighter fare as writing about H1N1 virus/the Swine Flu is just so, well, so been done before.
It's a worse story than the CDC is leading health departments and others around our country to believe. Women are dying from this illness...pregnant women. The numbers in some states are headline grabbing. But, there's no visuals to support the story. We're not seeing the last breaths of real women like we do of make-believe, fictional characters on TV.
Meantime, I wonder if I'll fall asleep before or after tonight's game at Yankee Stadium ends. I wonder if I'll take a break from the baseball diamond for ABC's Desperate Housewives?
Ciao bellas!
