Central Park Conservatory Garden.



City/Game: Basketball in New York at The Museum of the City of New York. Not a large exhibit but worth seeing. A video gives a tour of the great players from each borough. The companion book is overpriced but I bought it anyway,



Representing Manhattan and the Bronx.



Trash Talk wall,



The Knicks are well-represented.

With Stat hurting and Billups out, The Celtics are the better team. I just want one win to break the 10 year skid.



This is just an after-image exercise. Stare it it for thirty seconds, then look at a white space. A more vivid experience is Palinopsia (Greek: palin for "again" and opsia for "seeing.") It was discussed in Oliver Sacks' THE MIND'S EYE. Also, mentioned was Synethesia. A terrific book which puts the mind to work.



Getting back into LeCarre.



Tinker ,Tailor , Soldier , Spy is being re-made with Gary Oldman as George Smiley. For now, I'll re-read it and watch the Alec Guinness version on Youtube.
