Things are right with the world. The Yankees won their 27th championship in The Bronx last night. The euphoria centering in N.Y. is contagious. I was glad I was able to see them clinch the ALCS a week and a half ago. The team showed to be one of class. I look forward to next season.

I was back in NYC last week. In addition to taking 18 hours of continuing education at the optometry school on 42nd street, I got to see game 6 between the Yankees and the Angels. This is the first time I got to see a playoff game. I got to see the Yankees clinch. The City was great. I was down in Little Italy and had some mussels. I also visited the New York Historical Society on Central Park West. I also had a great time at a Cuban restaurant on 45th St. between 6th and 7th. Right now the Yanks are leading the Phillies 2-0 in the first in game 4. Go Sabathia.

I also have a blog regarding vision. I am an optometrist and blog about my practice, vision care and some interesting cases concerning some of my patients. The blog is www.ranchocucamongaoptometric.blogspot.com.

I also write a blog considering New York City. You can go to www.newyorkcityhighlights.blogspot.com.

I'll be heading out to NYC next week for about 15 hours of continuing education in optometry, Many of the courses deal with pathology of the eye and its treatment. The latest in diagnostic equipment will be gone over. Also while I'm there, I'm scheduled to see game 6 of the ALCS between the Angels and the Yankees. It should be a great weekend.

I'll be attending Game 6 of the ALCS in the Bronx. I got my ticket via Stubhub. The last 2 times I had playoff tickets, the series had already been concluded. The first time was the Met Yankee World Series. I had Game 6 and it only went 5. The other time I had Game 5 of the ALDS two years ago against Detroit and it went only 4. I guess I have to hope the Yanks lose a couple of games first for me to see it. This is what you call a dilema.

As I'm watching the Yankees leading the Red Sox 1-0 in the eighth. I figure when I'm back in N.Y. in late October, if there's a playoff game, I'l l travel up to the Bronx and watch the game at the Yankee Tavern on 161 St. On my last three trips up to The Stadium, I visited there. ...great place.
