Greenmarket crowded at 8:45, everyone early to beat the heat. Fish, Corn , Peaches, Tomatoes and Blueberries were purchased. Bluefish and Weakfish will be cooked early.



Guy was playing a mean Bach.



Golf trip. Over 100° on the course. Thank God for a pool to jump in after the round. Only played 10 the next day.



Don't you just love covered bridges ?



New gadget on the carts gave you GPS yardage to the hole. Terrific add-on.



Beers for the hot weekend are Brooklyn Brown and Brooklyn Summer Ale.

The beer for the day is a growler of Brooklyn Brown Ale.
So much better from the tap than from the bottle.



On last night, Manhunter by Michael Mann. This was the first
appearance of Dr. Lecktor (that's how he is billed)from the
book Red Dragon. It is a Miami Vice styled piece.
Brian Cox is great as Lecktor. You gotta love a movie that
features In-A-Gadda-Da Vida.

Great Scene:
Will Graham: I know that I'm not smarter than you.
Doctor Hannibal Lecktor: Then how did you catch me?
Will Graham: You had disadvantages.
Doctor Hannibal Lecktor: What disadvantages?
Will Graham: You're insane.



Mann and Manhunter brings back memories of this 86
series which featured some of the same cast - Farina,
Lang and Smitrovich.



A quick Glenn Gould Bach. After my Dead-Fest, I went
straight to Bach.

Wildwood BBQ was quite good. Only had appetizers and beer.
The Bacon, Jalapeño, and Shrimp dish was outstanding. Pigtrip
has a recent review.




The Brooklyn Brown Ale on tap was fresh and tasty.




The Queens Library is great. I ordered Spade and Archer on-line.
They sent me an e-mail to come pick it up and it was waiting for
me at the library. It is good. The Flitcraft incident and
randomness comes right at you in the early chapters. I can't
see reading it if you haven't read the original. Overall, a
worthwhile romp.




Also picked this up, featured in last week's acrostic.




Stumbled upon this one and picked it up. This is
a bonus. Never heard of it, but it is right up my alley.




Great tournament so far. It isn't perfect , but it is the purest
sports event out there. My bracket is doing well so far, I am in the
six thousand range on the NYT site.



This is a new place for beer in Brooklyn. They normally will
have 10 taps working. I wanted to get Jever Dark but they
were sold out from their grand opening yesterday. I went there
today and a very friendly staff recommended Sixpoint Sweet Action, a Cream Ale - 5% ABV, like Genny Cream Ale on steroids: Six Point Craft Ales. This is one great beer.
