hot town, muggy summer in the city


Lovely visit to Manhattan. Metropolitan Museum of Art has an exhibition of Poiret couture. Breakout styles from France in the early 20th century, with lovely Asian influences. So, did Art Deco start in France before Poiret's time - or did he bring it? One dress exhibited had a definite art deco flair! Beautiful use of planes, as described at the museum.


Stayed 'til 5 for the chamber music session - lovely time, excellent quartet.


Exercised at the West Side YMCA - so many rooms, with so many exercise options! Machines, free weights, stretching, swimming, etc, etc.
