The rest of the story...

Here are the remainder of my New York photos (minus the All-Star game).

What is a trip to New York without a few celebrity sightings. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of two of them so I had to improvise.

The first one we saw was Kevin Connolly from Entourage. We were walking down Broadway late at night and I saw this guy who caught my attention because he was talking really loud and walking like a typical new yorker. Then I started staring at him and thinking "I know him from somewhere." And I noticed that my friend Katie had that same look on her face. Then as he passed he gave us the head nod and we immediately looked at each other and said...that's the guy from Entourage!

One night after the girl's had gone to bed the boys stayed out on the hotel porch and drank. Suddenly someone walks by and Myles says, "Hey that's Jackie Mason". Of course TJ's response was, "Who's Jackie Mason?"

While dining at a very good Italian restaurant we overheard that a famous baseball player was going to be there. Of course being the fans we were we decided to stick around and see who it was, and it was David Wright with the Mets.

No trip to the Big Apple is complete without visiting the Hello Deli to see Rupert. If you watch David Letterman then you know what this is. Oddly enough he had an OU shirt on so I couldn't resist getting my picture taken with him doing the upside down hook em horns. Even though Rupert had some problems with it.

Some celebrating after the boys got back from the All-Star game. This was one of the best nights. We stayed at a local bar until about 5:30am then went to get something to eat. By the time we made it back to our hotel the sun was coming up!!!

My candle.

Trucks that carried the players during the parade.

Josh Hamilton's truck!

Both pictures above are of Katie and I when we went to Wicked. The boys got tickets to the All-Star game and we got tickets to Wicked. It was MUCH better than any baseball game.

Again, I still haven't posted the pics from the All-Star game. I will do that as soon as I get them in digital format.

What's a vacation if you don't have any fun?! (NYC Part 3)

OK, if drunken idiots, smoking, rude gestures, or just plain silliness offend you then maybe you shouldn't look at this post. And I must comment on the bar TJ chose. Yes, it was a great place to hang out and watch the Home run Derby, yes the people were great and the beer was cold. But out of all the bars in New York TJ picks the one covered in Longhorns crap!!

Katie trying to teach Billy from Brooklyn how to two step.

We're just one big happy family.

I don't know what to say about this one.

I think I was doing an Irish jig for the guy from Ireland.

Myles making friends.

He's just a big dumb animal folks.

Part 2 of the Big Apple

Part 2 of our New York trip. I'm saving all of the baseball pics for one post.

The Rock! Or Rockefeller Center to the rest of us. This is where NBC studios are, and yes that means Saturday Night Live is filmed here. We actually got to view the studio but weren't allowed to take pictures. It's a LOT smaller than you think.

View of the flatiron building from the top of the Empire State Building.

Chrysler building from the top of the Empire State Building.

Where they film the Daily Show with John Stewart. At first I didn't believe it because it was in the middle of the ghetto, but some locals told us this is where it's done.

Old Glory in Grand Central Station. This was one of the most beautiful buildings I've ever seen

.

The Met (Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Both pictures above are of a tomb that was excavated and put inside the MET. It was really neat to see.

A bunch of naked and headless statues from Rome. There was also a Super Heroes Exhibit but they wouldn't let us take pictures. It had Cat Women's costume, the original Superman outfit worn by Christopher Reeve, the Batman costume from Dark Knight, and some others that I can't remember.

Rockefeller Center where they usually ice skate, but in the summer they set up tents where you can eat.

That's all I have time for now. I will try and do more tonight.

I can not wait to see this movie!

New York, New York!

In case you didn't know (or you haven't been following me on Twitter) Myles and I visited the Big Apple last week with our good friends Katie and TJ.  I wanted to tell you all about it but instead of boring you with a lot to read I am going to tell our story in pictures!  Now there are about 400 of them (don't worry I won't show them all to you) so it might take a few entries for me to tell the whole story.

Me and Katie!

The Perry's and the Davidson's at dinner.  The food was amazing!  I wish I could have another one of those salads.

We kept telling TJ that they were too small but he insisted that they would fit.

Breakfast at Tiffany's!  (In case there was any doubt in your mind now you KNOW I'm a dork.)

The pickle at Carnegie Deli.  Still not sure why they have a giant pickle but the waitress there was awesome and so was the food.

Times Square at night.  I tried to put this with the others but can't figure it out.

The 3 photos above were taken on the Brooklyn Bridge.  My favorite is the one with the American flag.  And of course I had to stop at the spot were they filmed a scene for the Sex and the City movie and act out the Scene from Saturday Night Fever with John Travolta.  I'm a nerd!

This is in central park with a view of the skyline.  Next time I am there I HAVE to rent a row boat.  It looked so romantic.

We are in New York for 20 minutes and Myles gets in a fight with Rocky. :)  What am I going to do with him?

This was a clock in the middle of Times Square and every once and awhile an American and a National MLB player would come out.  They would pull something from their pockets and we never figured out what it was.  Honestly it looked like a screw driver.

Times Square during the day.  This was Myles' first time in the Big City and I love seeing the reaction of first timers when they see Times Square.  (Personally I think it's MUCH better at night)

We went inside a church across from the WTC site and inside was a huge banner from firefighters and police officers from Oklahoma.  I can't tell you how much I filled with pride at the site of this!  We truly live in the greatest state in the entire world!!!

That is all for now.  Please check back for more!

Ever wonder what I do?

Ever wonder what I do? Here ya go!

One day I won't get so excited about little things like this, but this is video of Brandon Dutcher, our Vice President for Policy, being interviewed by Alex Cameron on News9. This was part of a media day that yours truly planned and I got to sit in the studio and watch it being filmed LIVE. I am such a media nerd and even asked if I could touch Gary England's desk. They said yes of course.

She said what?

I don't think I will ever understand what goes through 90% of our elected officials heads. Or how they ever got elected in the first place, but today Senator Nancy Riley, a democrat from the Tulsa area, was quoted as saying "thank goodness for high gas prices." Her reason for saying this is because they are helping the state's economy.

Tell that to the millions of Oklahomans who worry about how to eat from day to day because of what gas prices have done to the cost of food. Or to the local business owner as they watch their earnings shrink more and more because they are having to spend a larger portion of their hard earned dollars on fuel. Or how about the student who will have to do without that updated textbook or computer program this year because money that would have been spent on resources for him is now being used to fill up buses.

I don't think any of these people are thanking anyone for the rising cost of fuel. I know I'm not!
