- One of my Off Days and decided to stay Off, I remained on The HeeHeeHaHa River Ride ... It worked out, and "we" also came up with the following quote :
" a photo a day, keeps the crazy away "
I was off today (modified work schedule) so after taking care of some business at AC's school, she and I went to Sushi House for lunch. Sushi House is one of AC's favorite Japanese restaurant. I ordered their "Caterpillar" Roll (unagi & cucumber wrapped w/avocado).
The weather was so bizarre today! Even though it was very cloudy and the skies were gray it was..well I wouldn't go as far and say that it was hot but it was very warm!
But almost like a humid muggy type.. I didn't like it and I felt "off" all day.
- I have some extras I think I might post later, but for now it's off to study for my math test tomorrow. If I do well on this, my teacher said she'll replace my terrible quiz grades!! so wish me luck (:

Not one of my best photos, I seem to be having a very off day for photography and just can't seem to find something that really pops for me so I decided to keep up with yesterday's theme of unusual.
Again, this isn't exactly my normal style and I went for a different type of focus than I usually use, but I think it turned out okay and since I've nothing else for today, it will have to do.
Anyway; hope everyone has had a good day.

Inscribed - "Lyn Lary / New York Yanks / '29" with a black ink fountain pen.
Lynford Horbart Lary (January 28, 1906 – January 9, 1973), nicknamed "Broadway", was an American professional baseball shortstop. He played twelve seasons in Major League Baseball for the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Washington Senators, St. Louis Browns, Cleveland Indians, Brooklyn Dodgers, and St. Louis Cardinals. In a 12-season career, Lary posted a .269 batting average with 38 home runs and 526 RBIs in 1,302 games played.
Lyn Lary (This article was written by Bill Nowlin) - Babe Ruth called him “Broadway” because Lyn Lary loved the theater in New York, and Lary’s obituary in The Sporting News said he “tried his best to live up to the nickname the Babe hung on him. He was one of the best dressers in the majors and drove a big eight-cylinder car that had a silver nameplate on the door.” And Lary married Mary Lawlor, who was part of the original 1925 cast in former Boston Red Sox owner Harry Frazee’s Broadway musical No, No, Nanette.
Lary was an infielder for 12 seasons who played for seven clubs in the major leagues from 1929 to 1940 and was part of a couple of the bigger money deals of the 1920s and 1930s, but “never quite lived up to baseball expectations,” despite posting a respectable .269 career batting average. Lary stood an even 6 feet tall, with a playing weight of 165 pounds.
Lary was born in Armona, California, about 40 miles south of Fresno, on January 28, 1906, and was given the name Lynford Hobart Lary. He reported his heritage as Irish, and said the family name had originally been O’Leary. His father, Clyde Lary, was a railroad agent and telegrapher. At the time of the 1910 US Census, Clyde and his wife, Rachel, lived in Kern, California, near the southern border of the Sequoia National Forest. Lyn may have been their only child. By 1920 Clyde had moved to Visalia, California, where he worked as an agent for the Southern Pacific Railroad. By 1930 he held the same position but had a new wife, Lois, a chiropractor.
At some point, first announced on January 9, 1928, but possibly having happened as early as August 12, 1927, the New York Yankees purchased the contracts of Lary and Reese for $125,000 cash, though they agreed to leave both with the Oaks to play out the season – and all of 1928 as well. Lary became the Yankees’ regular shortstop in 1930, appearing in 117 games and hitting at a .289 pace. A fractured thumb on June 20 cost him two weeks. He drove in 52 runs and scored 93. He still had work to do in his fielding, next-to-worst in the league at his position with a .940 fielding percentage. He remained subpar much of his career, but hit significantly better than most shortstops of the day.
In 1931 Lary appeared in every one of New York’s 155 games – including two tie games (as, of course, had Lou Gehrig). He hit .280 for new manager Joe McCarthy and drove in 107 runs, scoring an even 100, ten of them on home runs he’d hit. His grand slam and six RBIs against the Chicago White Sox on May 9 represented his best single game. Overall, the season home-run and RBI marks were the best of his career.
In the middle of the 1931 season Lary accomplished something else many men dream about: He married the movie star he’d become infatuated with on the screen. While still in Oakland at the end of 1929, he’d taken in the film Good News and was wowed by actress Mary Lawlor. They planned to marry on a Yankees offday but it was the 13th of July, and he didn’t want to be unlucky in love, so they were held off at the last minute – but while passing through Times Square they saw the news flash on the Times Square Building: “Broadway’s Mary Lawlor Wed to Yankee Shortstop.” The next morning they made it official. Then Lary had to rush to the ballpark. He was 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs in the first game against the Indians. He was 0-for-3 but batted in another run in the second game.
After baseball Lary went to work in the aircraft industry, during World War II in the dispatch department of Bell Aircraft in Buffalo and later with North American Aviation in Downey, California, where he and Mary made their home. His work was specifically as a purchasing expediter and buyer for Autonetics, a division of North American Aviation. He suffered diabetes for more than 20 years and ultimately died of heart failure on January 9, 1973, survived by his wife and their son.

GZB WAP-5 30035 resting at Chandigarh. This is probably the link of CDG - NDLS Shatabdi Express dozing off on Sunday, offday.
I would like to cut queue on the Bario trip photos to make way for some of the recent photos from my most recent outing to Pudu in Kuala Lumpur. December the 8th was a public holiday and we came to this old coffeeshop on that afternoon just find it a bit disappointing at first as it was their day off as well, but later we managed to get the permission to get into the restaurant and capture a different kind of scene in a restaurant we do not usually see when it's full of customers.
This shot was taken in the front entrance behind the metal grill door (not sure whether that's what it is called, but please correct me) after one of the managers came up to us and told us that they were closed on the day. In the background there was sound of old folks playing mahjong.
The manager told us that the restaurant has a 60 year old history.
