Missed Game, New/Old Book

The Yankee game I was supposed to go to on April 25 was rained out. What made it bad was that I was one stop away from the stadium when it was announced on the subways PA system. How nice. The Yanks are 6.5 games out of first place. Terrible, but still early. They need to kick it in high gear.

Meanwhile, I am in the middle of reading Casino Royale by Ian Flemming, after being obsessed and watching the movie about 15 times over the past 2-3 weeks. Can't get enough of it. The book is just as good and appears to follow the same story line, with minor changes in detail. The movie is present day and obviously the book was written in the early-to-mid 50's. Though the book holds a rather archaic release date, it manages to stay contemporary in every sense. You will notice, though, that he is not driving an Aston Martin :)
