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. 😀
