Wow, what a great NYC weekend was had… fitting that it was also Conrad’s birthday! Have I mentioned he’s older than me? Much … much .. older 
We started with a little Broadway, and ended with a little baseball. Mmmm … I can still smell the smells.
Though C’s not a huge musical fan, I am. So it was a perfect meet in the middle when the Osmon’s surprised him with tickets to see Spamalot. If you’re a fan of men in tights, Monty Python, spam, know the phrase, “I will fart in your general direction”, or like Clay Aiken, then you would like it too. Before the show, Conrad opened his presents and said sheepishly, “How about instead of dinner we head to ‘Piece of Chicken’.” I was outraged. Piece of chicken sells fried chicken for $1 a piece out of sketchy window on a side street on the border of Hells Kitchen and the Theatre district. It is NOT where you go when you live in NYC and have a birthday — there are tons of great, famous restaurants with great, famous chefs to choose from. And it is exactly where I had planned to surprise Conrad with for dinner that night. Freaky.
On Saturday, we had a bagel schmorgasboard and then met up with friends Marty, Natasha, Kelly and Factor to watch the Mets from what were some of the farthest-away seats in the stadium (go all the way up the ramp and all the way to the last aisle … then all the way to the top). It was fantastic. $5 seats to drink $8 beers. And the Mets won!! After the game, 1.3 million Mets fans and us crushed to the subway … which was actuallly not crowded and was a lot of fun. We rode about 3 stops to where we heard Queens has a little India. They do. Conrad loves Indian food and when someone recommended a diner there for great Indian, we had to stop. Food was good and everyone left full and happy. The rest of the night was spent laughing with friends — thanks to K & F for a great round of Pictionary and a farewell to David Lam whom we met up with for a night cap and a dance.
Conrad spent Sunday playing with his new toy – our new wireless digital frame. Now you can e-mail us your favorite pics directly to our frame. If I like you, I’ll tell you the address, so go ahead and ask
Ah weekends in the city can be so fun.

I don’t remember much after the game.
It was a very fun long day!
