    Want to take my oldest (10) to see some shows and do all the things during christmas season. We live in a town of 5,000 people so it will blow her mind.

    Idea is to just do 3 nights (I start to go bonkers in NYC after about 36 hours), see 2 broadway shows, skate at rockefeller, and any other must do attractions.

    Any well-located hotel suggestions that have that old school NYC vibe? Any must see attractions that time of year? Also, any vegetarian restaurant suggestions?

    We spent Christmas week there last year. Crowded, even by NYC standards. Just expect that. 

    She'll like the Rockettes. It's their Christmas show. It's Radio City. It's the big marquee and all that, and once inside certainly a show she'll never see in a town of 5,000. Like 100,000 things in NYC she's never seen. But I'm quite sure she'll really enjoy it. One Vanderbilt is a must do - a really cool place to see the city. Not your standard 1,400 feet viewing experience in NYC.  Skating at Rockefeller Center was perhaps the biggest cluster of the week. Just wall to wall people. As noted above, consider Bryant Park instead. Rise NYC was a lot of fun.  We did all the other standard stuff (Statue of Liberty, Park,  911 Museum, Times Square) but sounds like you're on a tight schedule so will have to pick and choose. 

  2. Liston had enough. Clay (Ali) had shown up at his house at 1A with a bullhorn. And then he tracked down Liston at the Desert Inn. Again, in the middle of a craps game. Ali ultimately got the best of him in both fights. But Liston had mob ties and wasn't averse to scaring the shit out of people, even outside the ring. 

    Ali was such a great character, the greatest. Above and beyond his fighting prowess.

    AUSTIN, Texas - A public utility has revealed that millions of gallons of water in the Austin area continues to be wasted by hundreds of residents in the Steiner Ranch area during drought restrictions. 

    As a result, Travis County WCID No. 17 filed 232 water shut off work orders for customers who continued to violate Travis County’s Stage Two Water Restrictions.

    Travis County WCID No. 17 told FOX 7 Austin water restriction violations have been a huge issue since the start of July. A spokesperson for the utility says more than 1900 violating customers were identified and responsible for nearly 9 million gallons of water waste each week.

    I will never have to accidentally hear Beth Mowins again.  They broke up RG3 and Mark Jones, too bad Jones still has a job.  Haha he's on the aggy call Saturday.

    Yeah, Jones is a clown. Birth certificate says 60-plus but he's still stuck on trying to be 28.
