I started my new job today and lived to tell the tale! It's actually the first time that I've ever worked in Manhattan and that in and of itself is very exciting. All in all, it was a good first day and I think things are going to work out fine. And I now have my very own Blackberry!

Mets won yesterday which means they are in first place and undefeated. (I'll enjoy it while I can!) Furthermore, it is very nice to finally have a closer who is capable of pitching a 1-2-3 ninth inning. After the heart attack inducers that were John Franco, Armando Benitez and Braden Looper, all I can say is welcome to the team, Billy Wagner!
