Mayor Bloomberg tells Mac that he is wrong (and that too more than once)!!!
The Bronx Team were invited on July 25th, Tuesday to the NYC Mayor's Official Residence - Gracie Mansion - to attend the annual Mayor’s Volunteer Center BBQ . The fact that the current Mayor - Michael Bloomberg - has not stayed a single night during his term in this grand house speaks no less of his being amongst the world's 100 richest, as he supposedly uses the New York subway (to ride to 
City Hall only!).After we managed to slip in the fact that we had come all the way from Oxford and established that he liked the British (his ex-wife is British and daughters have Brit passports), we had our official group pic with him. However, as we were not allowed to use our personal camera plus the fact that the boys tell me that we won't receive our copies for a coupla months...we resorted to extreme measures...aka the pic with Bloomberg in the far distance (on the mic)!
We then had the honour of Mac being one of four contestants to be chosen, from amongst a crowd of (literally) hundreds of interns, for a game of multiple questions that was hosted by the Mayor himself!Sadly, Mac heard the phrase "you are wrong" thrice upon honking his horn!!! An instance - http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2908978666478748315&pr=goog-sl!!! However, please note that Mac did get a Gracie Mansion white mug for his efforts :-)
Till our next adventure...laters from the steps of the Gracie Mansion!

Ps - Mac, we are proud of you for standing up to those undergrads!!!
