$30 win! Going to play real poker later today.



Great games so far, this google doodle is wonderful.



First corn of the season. Blueberries have also arrived.

Field trip to Mothership Meat Company. Pork Bellies were sublime, washed down with tap Shiner Bock.

A visit to an old haunt. Jeremy's Ale House.



Bras on the ceiling. Just like the now closed Hogs and Heifers.



Shiner Bock on tap.



Did one of those tourist cruises, they always get close to the Statue of Liberty.



Always beautiful.



Next day, downtown. The 9/11 Water Memorial is now open without getting on a line.



Magic Hat was the beer for the day.



Day Lily.

Happy Father's Day!



Shaft was a mixed bag. Some good lines but mostly uneven. Hey, there's Titus Welliver , he was Silas Adams in Deadwood.



Mimosas!

Rolling Thunder Revue movie starts this week on Netflix.



The Friends of Eddie Coyle was on Kanopy. Robert Mitchum , Richard Jordan and Peter Boyle are great in it.

75 years ago today.



Queens distribution for Much Ado About Nothing. Rain was forecast but never came.



John's Pizza was nearby. A classic, old-school slice.



Coriolanus is next. Never read it or saw it, looking forward to it.



A real nice production. Danielle Brooks and Grantham Coleman make a fine pairing in their witty sparring as Beatrice and Benedick. Chuck Cooper was superb as Leonato.

Two observations: 1) Play starts and ends with Marvin Gaye's "What's going on";2) the help in this Atlanta mansion act and look like the help in Get Out. Except when dancing, and the dance sequences are quite good.

“The saloon is a sanctuary. Every man worth their name knows the value of being unreachable,”

Al Swearengen
