July 26, 2008



Yesterday was a good HAIR day. Went to Central Park
to see HAIR. A bit dated but an exuberant cast made up
for all the problems with the book.
The songs were great featuring "Aquarius," "Let the Sunshine In,"
"Easy to be Hard" and "Good Morning Starshine."
Caren Lyn Manuel as Sheila was terrific singing "Easy to be Hard."
The band was top-notch led by Nadia Digiallonardo.









Restaurant Week pick was a place in Soho at
90 Prince Street. Decent food, nice atmosphere and great service.
Will have to go back.

Finished A Primate's Memoir while waiting on line
for HAIR tickets. Half-way through Monkeyluv.



Greenmarket Report:







Sunflowers.
Ah! Sun-flower
William Blake

Ah, Sun-flower! weary of time
Who countest the steps of the sun
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the traveller's journey is done:

Where the Youth pined away with desire
And the pale Virgin shrouded in snow
Arise from their graves and aspire
Where my Sun-flower wishes to go




Side-walk Salesman is on a roll.
Tons of $5 sales.




Corn is nearing its peak. Nice big ears and plenty of
flavor. No White corn today at Sycamore farms.

Queens Library had other Robert Sapolsky books.



Stress is the main topic here.



Went to the Sunburnt Cow for Brunch.
We were definitely the oldest patrons.
Great food, unlimited Mimosas and Bloodies.
$15 per, cash only. Superb.

Greenmarket for corn and peaches.
Sycamore farms had the first White Corn
of the season.

Finished William Shatner's Autobiography.
A real fun read. Learned a new word.
"My father was in the schmatta business -
he manufactured inexpensive men’s suits." pg. 8
