Astroland closed, Serena wins US Open and makes me run for an hour!

The amusement park of Astroland at Coney Island here in Brooklyn is closed FOREVER starting today Sep 7, 10 pm. I just came back from taking a ride in Cyclone, the best known historical roller coaster since 1927. Nobody seems to like the idea of losing the park ... it was the only park in NYC where we could go by subway ... and now that is also gone!! WTF!!!!!!!!

I wore a T-shirt of "Coney Island - Cyclone" which did result in few smiling nostalgic faces and conversations like "hey where did you buy it from?" :) Somebody gave me a paper to send Mayor Bloomberg and others letters not to close the park. I hope the cyclone stays where it is and I hope Bloomberg still worked for Bloomberg LP somehow along with being a Mayor so that I could call him internally with an 801 number ... :)

Coming back from a slew of activities: Indian-Chinese restaurat called Chinese Mirch restaurant which serves "Chinese food as they prepare in India", "Rock On" movie and Astroland and Coney Island beach and Nathan's famous Hot Dog stand ... ooph ... I still managed to gather enough energy to go to the gym and watch Serena beat Jelena while running ... I usually don't watch sports and prefer rather to play myself in that time .. but man this game was so amazing .. I could run and jog for a whole hour in the energy of the two never giving up athletes and so many deuces of the game!!

To get back to work tomorrow with paging/filtering/sorting data structure and to bed now ... I sign off!
Make yours a great day at work ... I will too!! Gooddnight.
