Happy Birthday Abe !



Went to a Dive Bar to watch the Knicks. I was pleasantly surprised by Four flat screen TVs and $3 PBRs. A Knick win in the last minute sealed the night.



The Knicks win but Rubio looks like the real deal. He is super fast and not soft at all. Great court vision. Lin came down to earth but played with grit.

My oldest son has to read Frankenstein and I only read the Classics Illustrated Comic Book. Now, I'll try the original. Also picked up Joyce's Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man and Dubliners. Inspired by the NYT Magazine article : My Debt to Ireland.

I was victimized by an ATM Skimmer device yesterday. The thieves got $1,400 before I noticed the theft. I was lucky and caught it just hours after the theft. The bank will reimburse in 72 hours, I was told. The ATM was in the Bank's Branch. Now I have to be Hyper-Vigilant about my ATM use. I have been careful to only use it at my Bank's branches, now I have to do a thorough inspection even at a Bank branch. Yikes !



Tonight it is Rubio v. Lin. Will go to a bar to watch, since I have Time-Warner cable.

Watching a lot of old Columbos. This one with Ruth Gordon was particularly good.

Abigail Mitchell: I'm beginning to be very fond of you, Lieutenant. I think you're a very nice man.
Lt. Columbo: Don't count on that. Miss Mitchell. Don't count on it.
