Day 244 of 365

Journal Square's namesake

Was killing some time in Jersey City's Journal Square while waiting for some friends to get off the PATH and so I looked around and contemplated the section's namesake. Then I thought of Herald Square and its defunct namesake and Times Square, whose paper has moved to the west and no longer actually sites on the square (which isn't a square at all, but still ...).

Day 114 of 365

King of carpets

Finally had the weather to get back out to the ballfields in Jersey City for a little pitching and hitting and shagging flies. Definitely rusty -- a weak showing at the plate, a bit of soreness afterward. Traffic up 1&9 on the way home provided me enough of a pause to get another shot of the carpet man from the opening credits of "The Sopranos."
