Actually, you will see Claire and I on the field. We were asked by the Islanders to be on the field for some presentation before the game.
I have been a MET fan all my life, and in this last season of the stadium, I will get to be on the field. It is real exciting for me, and I am so looking forward to it.
But it is a happy occasion, and right now I need it…. My mother is not doing well. She is in ICU at Winthrop. She has COPD and the disease is getting worse and taking a toll on her both physically and emotionally. All I ask, is that if you are a person of faith, to please remember my mom, Ethel, in your prayers. The family are hoping that in this trying time, that God will keep her as comfortable as possible, and try to comfort us as well in our time of need.
Thanks, and God bless.
And tomorrow – don’t forget to take some time, and remember the folks who lost their lives on that sunny morning seven years ago. Remember who we are, and what we stand for. With all the political ‘bitchiness’ going on – let’s drop the party lines, and remember that we are Americans, standing tall for our great country and people.

Enjoy the game, G. As a Met fan as well, I envy you.
Also, of course, my thoughts and prayers are with your mother and your family.
Lastly, indeed, I hope everyone takes a moment to reflect tomorrow. It is unfortunate that the events seven years ago have been used as a political football, and, even more disturbing, have been “forgotten” by more than a few folks. God bless the families and friends of those who lost loved ones at the WTC, as well as the Pentagon and the United flight that crashed in PA.
Sorry to hear about your mother, I told you the last time you guys were in my thoughts and prayers.
About the game, that’s funny – I am a NYI365 member and have not heard a peep about the game.
Not like i am surprised, I have not heard from a ticket rep more than one time in the three years as a season sub.
Have fun!
