FRIDAY NIGHT CATCH-UP

It's early Friday night and I'm at the bar right smack dab in the middle of Happy Hour. I was able to secure one of the small tables by the window, so that I could catch up on emails and blog stuff, while at the same time, casually observe what's taking place around the bar.

First observation: There are a LOT of hot chicks out tonight. Many of them seem a tad bit more dressy than what you would normally see on a warm Summer night. If I had to guess, I would say that many of them were on their way to the Sex in the City movie or a Sex in the City party somewhere nearby. In any case, plenty of eye candy to go around. I wonder how many requests for Cosmos we'll get tonight? Hmmmm...

Second, it seems that one of our "prodigal sons" has returned to the neighborhood. Yes, the one an only DIRTY SANCHEZ, who unceremoniously dropped off the face of the earth months ago, has resurfaced back in Murray Hill. The jury's out on how long he'll be with us this time around, but from all indications, he's alive and well, for what that's worth. And at the end of the day, that's a good thing.

Third: Leg update. Treatments are going well (though they are painful as all hell), and while I have at least another month of treatments ahead of me, things are looking up (or at least that's what the doctor says).

Next- HAPPY TRAILS.... First it was ANGRY BLACK who bid us a fond farewell. Now add REDSKINS GIRL to the list as she bid the Big Apple and Third and Long a low-key farewell as she moved back to her homeland of Virginia. Interestingly enough, she moved back home exactly two years to the day she moved here to New York. Talk about coincidence! While it was sad to see her go, I totally understand her reasons for leaving us as it was purely a professional one. We wish her all the best in her new endeavors- she definitely left a mark on Third and Long.

On Another Note: Congrats are in order to NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and GOLDIE. The runty one is finally getting tied down! NAPOLEON DYNAMITE is scheduled to walk down the aisle with his lovely fiancee, SMURFETTE at the end of July, in what should be a doozy of a wedding. Nuptials scheduled to take place in Rhode Island.

As for the GOLDEN ONE, he and his wife are expecting their first bundle of joy! Yes, GOLDIE's going to be a dad! As of right now, they don't know if its going to be a boy or girl but I'm sure they will keep us posted. Congrats to all of them!!!

RANDOM PICS from the last week or so.....

Yes, boys and girls, this is GEEK SQUAD, in all of his glory....

That's it for now. Look for more updates in the future and keep your fingers crossed that I keep my Internet signal for more than 24 hours! Enjoy the weekend!
