Feelin' Blah...

Had a long day yesterday.

Things started at 6AM with a cardio intervals workout.  The workout itself took about 30 minutes which got me home before 7 to get ready for the mines.  A group of us took what I guess was an early lunch to pay our respects to our co-worker, Tammy, whose father passed away from a long illness early Friday morning.  Fortunately, I brought lunch in and worked through which enabled me to get out on time to meet Dad in Union to head out to the Bronx to catch the Yankee game.

We made excellent time, despite having gone the wrong way on the Deegan (we wound up going north instead of south like we were supposed to).  We parked ($35) and got inside around 6:15-ish and found that we wound up with seats in the bleachers.  We checked out the museum and each got a dog and a beverage (Dad a beer, me a Diet Pepsi).  The Mets smacked them...hard.  Not a fun game to watch.  Despite that, it was a nice time hanging with one of Dad's colleagues and his family.  We also chatted with a fellow visiting from Mississippi who was visiting Yankee Stadium as a 60th birthday present to himself.  Too bad the Yanks weren't on their game.

We left at the end of the 6th to avoid the traffic.  I got home at a decent hour.

Today I'm not feeling that great and feel like I have one of those "air-conditioning colds"; I have the sniffles and my throat is sore.  It's an off-day from the gym so it would be beneficial to rest a bit.

Looking forward to getting done for the day and getting home.  Looks like it will be a laundry night and maybe a walk.  It will probably be a great night for it.

Weather Closure

We got the notification last night that the State would be closed today, so another day off...yay!  All told, a short week between MLK day and closures midday Tuesday and today.  The major arteries were cleared today, so it looks like tomorrow will see me back at work. The day wound up being quite productive. We lucked out again with the way the snow came in; the snow didn't accumulate around our property with the exception of the backyard, which meant very little shoveling.  The only shoveling that had to be done was to dig out the cars, which between the two of them took 25 minutes. Hit the gym for the 9am class.  Today's workout was a challenge conditioning circuit.  There were two, 10-minute circuits.  I got through the workout okay, though I need to roll my upper back out tomorrow.  It may be time to order one of those rollers from Perform Better. Hung out at home for a bit, showered, and watched Let's Make A Deal and The Price is Right ...

The Avon Pavilion Stays!

There was some good news in the goings-on about the Avon Pavilion and the business owners who rented the space: the town is renewing their lease for the next 10 years.  The town had originally voided their lease in January once the structures were demolished from the damage from Sandy.  The tenants had an agreement and threatened to file a lawsuit against the Borough if they didn't reconsider.  Well, the town blinked, and the previous tenants have their lease renewed. It didn't make any sense that the town would withdraw their lease in the first place.  They are good tenants, and by the far, the best ones who ever occupied the space (that I'm aware of).  They converted the place into a nice restaurant, and kept it well-maintained, clean, and made it very successful.  If you have a good tenant, why not try to hold onto them? And now the big question:  Why the requirement for an additional 200 square feet of bathroom space?? Here's the article fr...

9th & Ocean

It was a sense of the familiar with a side of strangeness.  Nearly four months after Hurricane Sandy had done her cooch dance around these parts, we finally were able to walk along Ocean Avenue in Belmar this afternoon.  The town advertised specific businesses that were open along the thoroughfare.  I had driven to Ocean Avenue the other day, but the barricades were up prohibiting pedestrian and vehicle traffic.  Al wanted to check things out. We walked down 8th Avenue toward the beach, and saw folks walking and jogging along Ocean Avenue. We assumed it was okay to walk along the beachfront, and proceeded to walk south. A police van was constantly patrolling the area, basically making sure that everyone stayed on the western side of the street and on the sidewalk.  We walked down to the south end and back.  In a nutshell, there was a lot of cosmetic damage to many of the homes and businesses.  One home had some major structural damage, and an overh...
