5:30 am, you'd think that's when the pool is empty at the 33rd street Y. Its not. But there was room enough for my 60 laps. After a summer of biking and running and running and biking when the hawk makes his way back to the big city, i hit the pool. Back to the grill again...
woke up this morning and the Yankees clinched their division...
now every half-a-retard Yankee fan will come out of the woodwork and scream 'Jeter' over and over again including Tim McCarver; i mean, he has his lips firmly clamped around Jeter's johnson. Back to the grill again...
woke up this morning and learned that Social Security will pay out more than it collects this year...
hip hip hooray!! All of those card carrying capitalist-'fiscal conservatives' finally got their way. They've all but defeated the greatest socio-political deed since Hamurabbi's code. FDR would get up, walk out of his wheelchair and punch each and every one of those social-hawks in the brain—one by one if he could. Fiscal conservatism used to mean fiscal responsibility, now it its just a generic, like aspirin. And what is Obama up to? He's going to Copenhagen to try and score the Olympics for his fair city, sweet home Chicago. Now i normally wouldn't have issue with such a trip as the Olympics make a ton of money for the host country as well as the city, that said, 'Rack (that's what i call him cause we got it like that), you need to set yourself up in a lawn chair in front of the steps of Congress with a cooler of beers and a bb gun and pick off anyone who tries to get out. Ain't no one leaving 'til something gets done for the middle and lower class; you know, like you all said you were going to do. Back to the grill again...
hey, the sun is shining and the weather is sweet—i'm just saying, the more things change...
back to the grill again...

Look at you, channeling MC Serch. Last Exit to Brooklyn I enter ...
The Olympics don't always make money for the host city - I'm pretty sure that the '76 Olympics actually hurt Montreal economically. Something about infrastructure improvements that only benefit sports teams and/or private developers.
Good for you knowing your Serch!
True about Montreal, am I about to read about that? An Olympics in Chicago would rake for Chicago but would suck for the White Sox Cubs and possibly Bears who would have to take it to the road for a couple weeks.
Building equals jobs, jobs means paychecks, paychecks means spending.
C'mon now. I was the only kid in Broad Channel watching "Pump It Up" on weekends.
The book doesn't mention the Olympics much, just that Olympic Stadium was a disaster. The great god Wikipedia sheds a little more light on the subject. Actually, the only reason I even knew about the Montreal Olympics is that it was something that old man said in passing many years ago, for reasons lost in time. Weird how certain things stick with you.
