Quiet little weekend. Mets – celebrate 20th anniversary of the 1986 Amazin’s – and memories of the hijinks that they had. Then, as of Sunday, we have to worry about pitcher Tom Glavine’s arm condition. Mets beat the Rockies, with El Duque Hernandez playing a great game, and on tv, Ron Darling and Gary Cohen [...]

Good to see you guys back in action!  How about them Mets eh?

In the second of our Iron Chef themed restaurant outings, we went to Bobby Flay’s sous chef Patricia Yeoh’s restaurant SAPA. We were disappointed. Our waiter failed to give us a bread basket. The food was small, cold and didn’t even match what was on the menu. The environment was so pounding with sounds that [...]

The reviews are out for “Snakes on a Plane” – hmm, considering the hype, sounds like the critics don’t hate the movie.  (pardon the weird linking) — hmm, now I’m tempted to watch.  Just for the thrill of seeing Samuel L. Jackson say the key line that’s been going around on-line… And, tonight – local [...]

Entertainment Weekly has Hugh Laurie a.k.a. House on the cover.  The man wasn’t even nominated for an Emmy, yet still delivers the goods.  And to think that this week, FOX re-aired the powerful episode where Dr. Foreman almost dies and House goes to extremes (as usual) to cure him. ABC re-aired the Grey’s Anatomy Super [...]

Monday: Went to Grimaldi’s and Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory with the gang. Mmm. Eight planets or 12? I prefer 8 – why keep counting Pluto? What coincidence that I’m in the middle of reading up on the planets and the astronomers are trying to figure out what to do with our solar system. And, why [...]

Recovering from a rather freak injury Sunday when P and I went to the Dragon Boat festival in Flushing Meadow Park. P got a hold of some chicken and rice (the Carribean kind, not Hainan ‘chicken rice’), and I was chomping down on the drumstick when part of the bone fractured and ended up embedded [...]

Terrific weather! Prof. Jed Rubenfield, constitutional law expert, is going to have a novel out. Hmm. I still haven’t read Prof. Stephen Carter’s The Emperor of Ocean Park (which I heard was pretty good), but the idea of law profs going fiction – well, I can’t help being just a little intruiged. Of course, this [...]

Traveling to upstate NY and similar scenic and historic routes: The Empire State, Route 20 Pity I have to work when I’d rather travel .

Ah, Tuesday and Wednesday – such perfect weather.  Sunshine; not hot; breeze.  Ah… Finished reading In Cold Blood, by Truman Capote.  Gripping read.  Fantastic writing.   I recommend it.  All kinds of legal and moral questions for the reader to ponder about.  Hmm.  Dare I now watch the movie, “Capote” to get the story behind the [...]
