Just took care of my APSA travel arrangements and plans for the rest of the holiday weekend in NYC! Yay! I haven’t been there since I left in ’94. When I was there as a student I was working (work study in the women’s studies department, one of two high school secretaries for the JTS high school, and The Gap at 96th and Broadway) 20+ hours a week, so I didn’t see much apart from work, the library, and the WBAR studio.
Due to mucked-up air travel to the Midwest in April, I had a free vouche–so Brian can come, too. And then, I think I have enough Hilton points and airline miles to get 2 free nights at a midtown Hilton. Of course, it took about two hours on the phone and web to figure out how to make it work.
NYC agenda: museums & a Yankees game
Book progress today: 2 pages, but the night is young.
Frank Sr. : You know why the Yankees always win, Frank?
Frank Jr. : ‘Cause they have Mickey Mantle?
Frank Sr. : No, it’s ’cause the other teams can’t stop staring at those damn pinstripes.
Have fun at APSA and in NYC… me, I’ll be avoiding Philly like the plague.
