Yankee Stadium
Dad decided he wanted to see a game in Yankee Stadium before the last season was over, so he and I went to a game (I'm always up for a trip to NY, and I'm the new baseball stadium traveling buddy). It was really incredible to see so much history, even if I do hate the Yankees. We had a great time and I was glad we went!

Too many things!
I have way, way, way too many things to blog about. It's my goal to post the biggies here by the end of the week, but we'll see what happens. I do want to share a fantastic experience from earlier today...
I got to work and my computer screen was blank, which was odd, because the computer was turned on. I turned it off, and turned it back on, and the screen started up with the Windows XP thingy, but then it went blank again. This happened several times, so I called the help desk. They "escalated my ticket," so I'm sure my computer will be fixed in the next 6 months.
Meanwhile, I was sort of freaking out because I had some things saved on the hard drive. I should've learned my lesson when this same computer's hard drive had to be erased a year or two ago, but I'm a slow learner. Anyway, I really needed to get the items on the hard drive and transfer them to my jump drive, but the computer would not stay on! Finally (and, why is it always finally, instead of first?) I said a quick prayer that my computer would work long enough for me to transfer the files I needed. When I looked up, the computer was working! I got all my files moved over and then when I started working on something else, the screen just went blank again and hasn't worked any more for the rest of the day. It was a computer miracle (which is not as good as a Christmas miracle, but still a miracle)!
