July 5, 2009 - At the Movies

Killing time after the Yankee game, SyFy has Blade Runner
and Movies on Demand has On the Waterfront.

On Sundays, I always watch CBS Sunday Morning. Today was really good with a pieces on Henry Hudson , Happy Birthday Secret Service and Bobby Flay on Grilled Corn. Tonight, I will try Corn on the George Foreman Grill. I looked on the Internet for advice.

This is my 100th post. I usually only do it on
weekends. Wow, has it been that long? I did a lot
of movie watching this weekend.


What is a yute?
My Cousin Vinny, Marisi Tomei's Oscar as
Mona Lisa Vito. Sunday 04/12/09 - NYT 63 across.



Gay Sinese is terrific in this one, as is Delroy Lindo.


Last night on Turner Classic Movies. Eli Wallach
steals the show.

Hop Back Amber via a Growler. Tröegs Brewery’s Flagship beer.
Very similar to the Sixpoint Sweet Action ale I had last month.


Tuborg was featured in the NYT Crossword today 04/11/09. I
could not locate one in my vicinity but found a few places on the
Net. I'll be picking one up soon. Until then, I'll drown my sorrow in
Hop Back Amber.

Came across this poster on
the net.



Tried By War, James McPherson's new book, is featured in a
good article in today's NYT.

Wonderful time in NYC. The Holiday markets are now open.
My favorite is Union Square, but Grand Central and Bryant Park
are also worth a visit.
