Selling my Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 6/25 - Dome

My sister, 83, 20 years older than me, broke her hip. The doctor said it was the least severe break possible. She had a couple of screws installed yesterday and the operation seems to have gone well. She will soon be transferred to a rehab center, hopefully the one within walking distance of our old house. She seems to be in good spirits. We all want to live forever, but old age is no picnic.

Yesterday, for the second week in a row, our home field golf course was hosting an outing, and Cuz and I had to go elsewhere to play. Last year, that happened only once. Is the economy finally getting better?

As a conservative, I believe Obama a terrible President. Still, I wish his critics would offer more information whenever citing his lavish vacations. The charges of extravagance are meaningless unless compared to what other presidents and their families did. If the figures prove that the Obamas' jaunts are unusually excessive, by all means bash away. Otherwise shut up.

I was so eager to watch the premier of Stephen King’s Under the Dome last night that I completely forgot about the Stanley Cup finals. Although I missed a fantastic finish, the Blackhawks ripping the hearts out of the Bruins and their diehards, I enjoyed the show and look forward to the next episode. I recognized only two faces in the cast: Jeff Fahey, who has 132 credits listed at IMDb, including appearances as a regular on The Marshall and Lost; and Dean Norris, who was the valedictorian of his high school graduating class, and who has 145 credits. There names may not be familiar, but their faces will be. Here are pics:

I accompanied my friend to the doctor and lunch, took care of some chores, and visited my sister in the hospital, leaving me no time for the floating book shop. After two days on the shelf, I'm eager to get back to work, despite the heat.
