Sharon and I just returned from a dip in the Mediterranean I tel aviv.

Niclole graduates from high school next week. Will be in Israel, so I will miss it. Damn. How proud we all should be of her. And, as is said about me, what is next? My admission to Hallmark Institute of Photography has been held up, even though I received an letter of acceptance. It seems that the prep school I attended lost the records of my attendance and graduation. They offered a yearbook picture, which Hallmark rejected. I had to write to Penn’s registrar for proof of college attendance and graduation as a substitute.

A-Rod and Jeta had chances to make their legends grow. Big strikeouts in big events in the big ballpark in the South Bronx offered opportunities that ballplayers live for. Beyond their primes and overmatched, they failed, as predicted by the baseball gods who know when players should hang up their cleats. Sterling, who was featured in last weeks NYT, didn’t get to do his call.

But, baseball doesn’t end because the Yankees lose for this fan who also loves the game. How about that Philly/Cards game, sportsfans. And, in today’s NYT, Ken Belson images the “Fat Toad,” making me long for more.

The most important apple in my life, today. Interact more than once a day to keep old age and banality away. Have a Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, I Pad2 and Apple TV. Steve Jobs supports my creativity and surrounds my vision of and sefl-worth with tools that make me a better person, in addition to one who feels better about himself.

Do you want to know why or what happened which caused him to ink his hands with these messages?

Beck’s grave. A gnome with a shovel on a gravestone.

Mathey served as a fireman, though I thought the hydrant might have been a symbol that he liked to walk his dog.

Meriott hunted.

Conant lived here.

What anniversary? Put a photo on a grave? Not mine. But, perhaps, there should be a link to a web page with more images of them, so we could see them in real life.

A little early for Nicole.

Jimmy told Richard, “you are too drunk, too early.”

Rouche styling.  Labels. Signs. Haircut.

Keith put on this red chapeau for a trip to the tobacco store.

“No crying on Church St,” a passerby said.

Maybe Greg likes Rick Perry?

Had a collapsed lung. Girlfriend left him. Not on the hot streets, right now, begging. Trying to stop smoking.

But, note the styling. Good personal image through dress. A good sign.
