NY

Went home over the weekend for mother's day and to hang out with friends. Took a Greyhound bus for the very first time ever. It was pretty interesting. There is a pretty distinct class difference with the people that end up taking a bus vs. atrain or plane. Not that it bothers me, because the bus cost about 1/7 of what a plane ticket would have cost, and about 1/5 of what a train would have been. The ride was decent, aside from hitting almost an hour of traffic right outside NYC on the way up. But, back in NY, had a good, relaxing time. Caught a Yankees-A's game, with Mussina finally pitching a good one (complete game shutout no less) after somehow managing to get lost going to the baseball stadium I've been to about 25 times and ending up having to traverse the Bronx, yet still making it into the stadium in time for the first pitch.

Had a nice mother's day, too, and even took my mother and grandmother to see a corny mother's day movie before catching a bus back down late last night.

All in all a good weekend - nice to get back home to NY every now and again, even though DC feels a lot more like home sometimes.
