NY. It is about 2 hrs to NY, 2 hrs to Philly (they are out of town), and 5 hrs to Pitt.

Ughh...If it was me...I'd opt to drive to Philly and go to a game there. Much easier to get there and get out in a timely manner. NY..well from my experience with the city, it's not fun to drive in, especially if you are not familiar with it and traffic gives new meaning to nightmare. I know first hand, that an hour and a half drive can take 3 hours or more because of traffic tie ups at bridges into the city (yes, I've sat a mile or so from the toll gates of a bridge into NYC for 2 hours). Then once there, theres the fun of getting out after the game with the rest of the crowd. Personally, I don't think it is worth it to drive to NYC for a game, however, that's just my opinion.

The person or persons to talk to about going into NYC for a game would probably be P-funk or Goal Getter, or Mino or possibly Deadbolt.

Thanks for the tips, Dev. The Phillies are on the road, so it's Yanks or nuthin.

What about a train? Or a subway stop up north that I can drive to?

You may want to ask this in the sports forum.

Yeah, I thought about that, but I'd probably forget to check for an answer...

OK, a moment of venting, if you will....

I know I'm not the only one who struggles with a spouse/significant other who not only doesn't "get it", but makes things more difficult. My wife is killing me. Not only does she not do anything to take care of herself and make excuses about it constantly, she continues to buy junk food and stock the house with things I try to avoid. Then she gets defensive if I say anything.

For instance, after spending 45 min on the bike, I come upstairs to see her getting ready to dish out a big bowl of ice cream. I have some of the blue Bunny low sugar/fat free bars (which she has admitted taste pretty good) in the freezer, so I offer her one of them. She says no, I say "They're a little better for you." She gets mad and says "I don't care." (To which I could only think, yeah, clearly.)

Anyway, I know plenty of people have similar issues. Just wanted to vent a little...Thanks.

Hola from Memphis!

Spending a couple of days in the south. Had some really good fried crab tonight, as well as a few hoppy beverages. Plan to get in a good cardio session tomorrow.

My neck is a little cranky after the lifting session yesterday, but otherwise feel pretty good. Looking forward to the next lift, maybe Saturday.

Well, I just wanted you to know. That way, if someone says "Hey, if feels kinda cool around here", you'll know it because I'm in the area.

Heya bolt!

No, passed on the cardio. My neck is not feeling better, so taking it easy. It really sucks, because I can't pin down what sets it off.

And shouldn't that be Hola-y'all?

Pylon

Sorry, I wasn't there quite that long.

I think I may drop lat raises and DB rows from my routine. I think they are the most likely culprits for causing my neck problems...

Are you doing upright rows? Thta exercise did a number on my shoulders.

Pylon

No, and I don't that that would be it. The problem isn't in my shoulder, it's actually about 3 inches below the nape of my neck. In fact, it's right where the shoulder blades come together doing DB rows (bent over, that is.) I'm going to drop them and see if it helps.
