Denzel was a good Hickey. Of course, I drank Jameson's throughout the play. David Morse was a good Larry Slade but I had just watched Robert Ryan in the role. Morse also looked like Steve Bannon.



Anchor Bar: great wings, lousy service, lousy Beef-on-Weck. The roll had no au jus and no caraway seeds.

Greenmarket flowers



On-Line at TKTS, South Street Seaport for today's The Iceman Cometh Matinée. I'll see if Denzel is a better Hickey than Lee Marvin.

Robert Ryan is outstanding in the ATF production.

LARRY--(with a sardonic grin) What is it? It's the No Chance Saloon. It's Bedrock Bar, The End of the Line Café, The Bottom of the Sea Rathskeller! Don't you notice the beautiful calm in the atmosphere? That's because it's the last harbor. No one here has to worry about where they're going next, because there is no farther they can go. It's a great comfort to them. Although even here they keep up the appearances of life with a few harmless pipe dreams about their yesterdays and tomorrows, as you'll see for yourself if you're here long.



I still had it in my library. $1.95!



Solo will be seen tomorrow.

Thank God for Google Find My Phone. My work Samsung fell out of a cracked holster. Was able to track it down and retrieve it the next morning. Now I have to do a back-up to make sure the next time isn't a disaster.

The Unseen Oceans exhibit was cool. Loved reading about the nearby Hudson Canyon. This picture shows the results of deep-sea pressure.



My favorite dinosaurs.



Mammals count too, in this case, a Woolly Mammoth.



Also, a quick visit to the Butterfly Conservatory.

Of course, after I get back the NYT does 36 hours in Gothenburg. The last one was from 2012.



Nice shot of purple.
