- Is it art?
- Sprocket doesn't think so.
- I call this one "study in noodles"
- We went to the PepsiCo Gardens with Jim's family.
- I like this sculpture of a bear crawling out of the pond.
- I also like the filagree pattern this tree casts on the ground.
- Wow, look at the pooch on me. Not the dog, the belly.
- Lillies! I like!
- big fat tadpoles were on every stalk of the lily pads.
- Love this angular tree trunk. Dunno what happened to it.
- I went to Philadelphia last Wednesday. Nice city. Great clients.
- The sky over White Plains on Friday evening was wonderfully Hudson-River-School-like.
- I caught Jim mooning over this deluxe edition of Stratego.
- We took our friend Anna, her soon-to-be stepsons, and her fiance on a hike in Harriman. Here are the stepsons.
- Here's crazy dog Sassafras, Joe, Anna, me, El Jefe, and Sprocket,
- Sprocket got wet.
- I went into the city yesterday to meet my friend Alexandra for lunch. She was in from Chicago. We had a picnic on the High Line and I got a burnt nose.
- The MTA set up a TV in Grand Central so everyone could watch The World Cup finals. Beat sitting in a sweaty bar.
- Perfect clouds again over White Plains
- Look! The Ritz-Carlton building is the same color as the sky! Or maybe it's just a reflection.
