Monday and a Holiday = Greenmarket Lite. Still, picked up White Corn, Onions and Heirloom Tomatoes. The Heirlooms have recently gone down considerably in price.
Orchids for $20 a pot. Made me think of The Big Sleep and General Sternwood:
"A nice state of affairs when a man has to indulge his vices by proxy," he said dryly. "You are looking at a very dull survival of a rather gaudy life, a cripple paralyzed in both legs and with only half of his lower belly. There's very little that I can eat and my sleep is so close to waking that it is hardly worth the name. I seem to exist largely on heat, like a newborn spider, and the orchids are an excuse for the heat. Do you like orchids?"
"Not particularly," I said.
The General half-closed his eyes. "They are nasty things. Their flesh is too much like the flesh of men. And their perfume has the rotten sweetness of a prostitute."
My boys hit Polo hard, 30% off and an extra 20% for being on their On-Line account.
Coach had a big sale with 30% off. Big line just to get in, and then a 1/2 hour wait to pay.
I hit the Converse store for some cool T-Shirts. I still have my Back High-Tops.
Nooooooo !
A battle that you win cancels any other bad action of yours. In the same way, by losing one, all the good things worked by you before become vain.
