Jay

has lived in NY his whole life. His favorite part of the city is the Bronx. It was obvious by the hat he was wearing that Jay loves the Yankees. He's also a fan of the NY Jets and the ESPN network. Sports seems to be one of Jay's favorite pastimes. Even though he wasn't following much of the Olympics during the past two weeks, he did tune in to the hockey match between the US and Canada. With all the Olympic coverage, I almost forgot that it is already time for the Oscars.

Jay is not planning to watch the Oscars ceremony but he will be cheering for Precious, a critically acclaimed movie he's seen and which has been nominated for 6 Oscars. I am looking forward to watching Precious and the other nominated films in the near future when they become available on demand. I know that watching Avatar from the comfort of my living room couch will take away from its 3-D magic but I would still like to see whether it lives up to all the buzz and fuss ... as of now, I am just waiting for someone to repair our TV which broke for the second time in its young 5-year lifetime. Not a good thing, especially when being home-bound with three young kids as a result of the latest blizzard.

New York and the tri-state area have been hit with record breaking amounts of snow fall in the month of February. Fortunately, Jay wasn't affected by the snowstorms and didn't miss any time from work. Jay works the graveyard, third, "twilight" shift or however the 2 am to 9 am shift is called. He has been doing it for three years and thinks it is the best shift. The job pays well and after a few hours of sleep, he can spend the rest of the day doing whatever he wants, including visiting with friends. Not bad for a 22 year old young fellow.
