So here I am in New York City on the day after the New York Yankees won the World Series. I don’t pay much attention to baseball, normally. But a couple of my bloggy friends are …let’s just say… INTENSE fans, so I was at least aware of who the two teams were this year.
(Congrats Sarah Salter and Billy Coffey! The mojo worked!)
Tomorrow’s ticker tape parade for the Yanks starts only a few blocks from this hotel. And while I don’t think we’ll get to see it, I bet we’ll “benefit” from the extra traffic at this end of Manhattan.
As for today, after last night’s lovely Harbor Cruise, I came back to the room once again tired beyond belief. As a result, I’ve taken the morning off from the conference. And here I sit eating a room service bagel (of course, reasonably priced!) in my hotel bathrobe.
Today, I’d love to show you pictures from the cruise, but the combination of long distances, darkness, a rocking boat, and an average camera means that Lady Liberty turned out as a great green blob with a light at the top. The skyline? Just lights.
But, you Lucky People, I do have one picture to share with you.
No, not the video of the bathroom stall. Now after Candy’s comment about its illegality, I’m chickening out on posting it. International woman of mystery, not so much.
Instead, here’s a photo that I think captures the exuberance and eccentricity that is New York City:
Just your ordinary street scene: pedestrians, cars, cabs, cyclists, even a horse-drawn carriage… Right?
Oh, but let’s take a closer look at something:
That’s right. That bicyclist’s shorts contain the phrase
“Naked Nuggets.”
It’s not the Nekkid Cowboy of Times Square, but still more information than I ever wanted to contemplate.
And I guess that’s what New York City is all about.
Sorry / You’re welcome.

I bet this time of year, his nuggets get cold, so he wears the Spandex. But I could be wrong…
Texas has a Nekkid Cowboy too. He hangs out in our State Capitol (official slogan: Keep Austin Weird!) Maybe NYC would like to borrow the slogan?

I think Billy Coffey would edit your headline: GO YANKEES! (They Play Baseball Right!)

Hahahahaha!! Glad you are having a good time! Watch out for the boxing squirrels in Central Park!

I have to laugh about getting shouted out as a Yankee fan… ‘Cuz truly, I’m an Atlanta Braves fan who picked up the Yankee cause when the Braves didn’t make it to the championships… But my personal motto when it comes to baseball (and everything else in life) is “GO HARD OR GO HOME!”
I’m glad you’re enjoying your trip! Travel safely! (And don’t forget that NaNo is at home waiting for you!)

Where were these shorts when I was going on bike trips with my youth group as a teenager?

By any chance did you notice if the cycler had one of those special bike seats with the hole in it to help preserve his naked nuggets? Inquiring minds…

Illegality of posting a bathroom scene? No way. (Well, unless you were sporting your own nn )

Bold man. I bet he doesn’t even know he’s famous for it now either.
