So, today, I had the brilliant idea to clean out both of my large closets and my entire office. I rid myself of lots of old junk. It took a total of 8 hours working non-stop except for a dinner break. After cleaning out everything, I made a very hard decision. I decided to throw out the Punisher (an old server) that Jeff K. and myself created many years ago as our 2nd Edition server after The Hulk died. . . Jeff will appreciate this. Here is the newly cleaned office and a picture of the Punisher on its death bed. . .

So, Educational Housing Services (EHS)provided me with some very cool opportunities while staying in their apartments this summer. One of which was a dinner cruise usually costing upwards of $50 for only $10!! The pictures above are taken from my dinner cruise around the southern tip of Manhattan near the Statue of Liberty.

  Promenade, Brooklyn, New York

My parents came to Brooklyn last night (New York) to visit their favorite son and we had a good night on the town.  We ended up dining somewhere on Smith Street in Brooklyn and the food was less than average.  Needless to say, today was uphill, in a good way.

We trekked to WestPoint, New York (about an hours drive north) to visit the place where my father was born and where his father became the first civilian to coach the WestPoint Cadet Football Squad at the United States Military Academy. A Lt. Col. showed us around the Post (called a base by the AirForce and Navy).

We were able to see where the coaches, the academia and the Super Intendant live. We also revisited some of my dad’s childhood memories. Monday the new “plebes” come into the Post and start their six-week training before the Fall school semester begins.

So, my grandparents sent me cookies via FEDEX!  They arrived today and surprisingly enough they tasted great.  Ie. If you ever need to send cookies from Louisiana to New York: it is very possible!  Thanks Nana and Baba (Anne and Paul Dietzel, Sr.)!  (Pictures coming soon.)

Ok, so I haven’t posted in a few days and I started wondering why. This is because I can’t really talk about work on here because most of what goes on is confidential and I signed a form saying I would not talk about it. So that catches you up until now, Today, Friday Jun 8. Oh, and this week has been a great week at work. I am really enjoying working at ICM. I have met many people randomly this week on the elevator between floor 1 and 2 of the Clark Residence (I am on floor 2). More later. For now, here are some more pictures.

Today, I woke up… (Yes, Praise the Lord. Another beautiful day!)Anyway, so then I casually went and worked out after getting on facebook for a brief moment.

// SIDENOTE I dont work on Friday’s. Yes it’s nice. //

After working out, I came back to the apartment grabbed my camera then went down to Clark’s Diner across the street and got Belgium Waffles with Chocolate chips as well as a side of bacon! It was very good! I had a skim milk with my elegant brunch and then quickly began my adventuresome walk toward the Brooklyn Bridge. I started toward the Brooklyn Heights Promenade and then walked down the riverfront and back around. Until next time!

1:30 p.m. This afternoon I arrived in Brooklyn around 1:00 after my flight from Memphis was delayed. I got a cab that took me to the front steps of my new apartment.3:13 p.m. My apartment on Clark Street is brand new. I just finished unpacking everything and have seemingly gotten everything in an organized fashion. I am very excited: my roommate for the new apartment is Aaron from Chicago. He is studying Business and is a freshman. Aaron is Jewish and we seem to see eye to eye on many issues social and political.4:30 p.m. Just finished eating at the corner deli. It was wonderful. I walked outside the front of the apartment and there is a Metro Stop no more than 15 steps outside the door. The corner deli is another 10 or so steps and looks promising.5:00 p.m. Back at the apartment: took some pictures… See below.

10:37 p.m. Oh, by the way… Please, for those of you who would like to send me mail.
