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.

Independence Day 07





Happy 4th of July Independence Day! How 'bout we develop a holiday about reducing dependence on oil? hmmmm ....


After a lovely day trip to Donner Lake, this 4th Holiday will be an opportunity to kick back and watch the flowers grow.

This looks like a good rental. Add to the "to do" list!
