So, is it a Chazaka?

This morning as I was walking back to my apt from shiur I saw a few meat wagons on Audobon and 186th St. There isn't a single person on this planet who isn't lured to the sight of flashing ambulance lights and fire trucks. Everyone wants to see a good accident, am I right? The more blood and dismembered body parts the better.

So, an ambullette rammed a truck, the two front tires were lifted off the ground, and then an SUV smashed into the back of the ambullette. Somone was FOR SURE hurt.

Again, the quality of blackberry videos is horrendous. Say a kpitel please.

On a better note- Had a great date last night. 7 hours. Beat that! Went to Battery Park and sorta watched the sunset, made chocolate chip pancakes, drank decent Indian beer, and went rock climbing. I had fun. Did you??? wink wink wink. Not, you Ely. :)

Combo in the NYC Marathon

Our wonderful tzaddik of a friend Yisroel Elliot Combo Kaminetzky ran beautifully in the 2009 NYC Marathon this afternoon. A few of his good ol' buddies went down to 96th and 5th Ave to wait and cheer for him. The vibe over there was so positive and inspiring. Everyone was rooting for all the runners, and high fives were abundant. Definitely a high point for New York City.

Here is a clip of me chasing Combo once we saw him.


And, what's a 28 mile marathon without an after-party at the star runner's sister's apt? Everyone met back at Combo's sister Ilana's place for some nosh, drinks, and to congratulate Combo. Plus, we wanted to make sure he replenished the 5,000 calories he burned during 4 hours of running. Lots of FUUUN

Here's a reaallly poor quality clip I recorded on my blackberry of his little speech thanking his family, friends, and Hashem YisboraCh WOOT WOOT!
