Happy Flag Day ! Flag Day is celebrated on June 14. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened on June 14th in 1777.

Looking forward to seeing Cush Jumbo in The Taming of the Shrew. The reviews are mixed but the NYT likes it. The framing device featuring Sly is not used and replaced by an unseen narrator who sounds like Donald Trump.

Happy Flag Day !



Bubble Battle at Union Square



BBQ leftovers.



The Pig.



Saw Spy, wasn't bad. Jason Statham , Miranda Hart and Peter Serafinowicz were great in supporting roles.



I don't usually drink soda, I drink mainly water. I figured a small soda wouldn't be bad: yikes ! 32 oz. and $5.43.

Happy Flag Day !



Yesterday was Queens distribution of Shakespeare
in the Park tickets. Outside the Flushing Center for
the Arts. No rain yet.



Up the block was an Art-Deco WWI memorial.



After that, it was BBQ. The Big Apple Barbecue Party.
This was Rack and Soul. The Ribs were great.



Ed Mitchell does Whole Hog style.
The sandwich is the best of show.



Here's the Pitmaster. His restaurant
is in North Carolina.



Twelfth Night at the park. Had to stop in the
first act for rain, but soon resumed.
The clowning was first-rate. Jay O. Sanders is fabulous
as Sir Toby Belch ,as is Hamish Linklater as Sir Andrew
Aguecheek. They steal the show. All in all, a great evening,
the colonial setting was perfect for outdoors and the music
was terrific. Feste had a wonderful singing voice.
