Nice sunny morning. Not too crowded.



Decorative onions.



Pepper wreath looks good in the sun.



Cabbages in the sun.



The Holiday Market opens at 10 a.m., so

November 3, 2009



Election Day. I voted. I always do.



Post-vote lunch at London Lennie's Crab Fest.



Sam Adams on tap. I like the glasses. Will make a
good Christmas gift.



Library trip resulted in three books to read.
This one just came out. Fortune Magazine examined
Ten Maxims.



I lived near the festival during the Summer and attended
the festival. The author's hand-drawn map in the front
is wrong and puts White Lake on the wrong side of 17B.
I E-mailed the author and he said it was a publisher error
and that I was the first to notice.



There used to be a Bear wrestling place on
First Avenue and 10th Street: McLaughlin's
Bear Pit. This author and others I have read take apart
Asbury's Gangs of New York.



Beat the Devil is now on Free Movies on Demand.
Co-written by Truman Capote.

O'Hara: I give you my word, I feel to you like an older brother. Oh, it's not so much a difference of age. It's probably, yes, the reason is, because I come from a culture which is so much older than yours. In my country, a child of 6 years old is older in his heart than you'll be at, at 60.

Billy Dannreuther: It smokes, it drinks, it philosophizes... at this rate I'll be 60 before you get to the point.
