Nuns and Cyclones


Finally, good baseball weather. The Franciscan Sisters of the Poor (Sarah's company) was hosting a fundraiser at the Brooklyn Cyclones game on Saturday, so Abbey, Adam, Mike and I bought tickets. Realization #1: It takes forever to get to Coney Island from midtown. #2: Minor league baseball is so much more entertaining than the pros, at least in terms of mascots and cheesy games between innings. #3: Coney Island is not an actual island. I might be dumb, but I didn't know this. #4: Even minor-league beer costs a lot. #5: People really will wait forever for a Nathan's hot dog. #6: As evident from the airbrushed paintings of Tupac and Biggie on what should be innocent children's rides, Coney Island is more than a little bit scary, especially at night.

You didn't get to see the Mermaid Parade they have there every summer, or the circus freaks...
