No Words Required






The World Series

Welcome back to the Basement. WHAT A WEEK this has been!! I've been away but not GONE.. I had the fortunate privilege to purchase a World Series ticket to Game 3 in Philly and did it. It was the best $240 I've spent in a LONG time. First of all, thanks to my company for calling a sales meeting in NJ during the week of the World Series. It gave me a chance to watch a bunch of Series games with my Dad and Sister. Secondly, thanks to my buddy SAMMY for allowing me to buy a ticket to Game 3 at face value when he was selling his other tickets for thousands of dollars. I bought it up, we had fantastic seats, and the game, as you know by now, was a classic Phils win in the bottom of the 9th inning. As I type this, we are still not sure who will win the Series but tomorrow night at this time, I may be celebrating a World Championship.

We were just a few seats in from the field


This is the exact pitch Howard hit for a homer



The two-man outfield with 2 outs in the 9th inning


GO PHILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When a Picture is TRULY Worth A Thousand Words

Bobe and Zeide were here for five days this week. I was going to write all about our wonderful day driving the Alpine Loop and running the corn maze at the harvest festival. I was going to write about the amazing BBQ that Zeide made or the MASSIVE batch of chicken soup that Bobe made (which Hannah made the matzoh balls for). Instead, I decided to let one single picture tell the whole story. We had fun.
