How's this for pluck? On the European pro golf tour, at the Malaysian Open, Pablo Larrazabal, 30, was attacked by hornets. He jumped into a nearby lake to get rid of them. Although he was stung 20 times, he insisted on continuing to play. He hit his next shot to 15 feet of the flag and made the birdie putt! As Warner Wolf used to say on his nightly sportscast in NYC: "Let's go to the videotape."

One of my favorite customers, Susan, has returned from her annual six-month stay in Thailand, where her sons settled long ago. I asked if she'd been in danger due to the political unrest. She said no, although it was a constant worry. Her son was unable to go to work at his office in Bangkok a couple of times. Fortunately, it never got worse than that. What I love about Susan is that she doesn't read popular fiction. Her husband has given up on buying books for her. I have about ten I can now bring out to the car for the next time she passes.
Mountain Man visited the floating book shop today and spewed his inimitable cynicism. He is disappointed that the confrontation between the feds and the Nevada rancher did not turn into a blood bath, as he believes armed revolt is the only solution to the rot of the political system. He thinks all politicians should be taken out and shot... Occupy Jack passed on his way to the printer, who will make stencils for T-shirts he plans to sell tomorrow at Union Square Park... I applauded and bowed to Joan, who last Friday donated several pictorials on art. She was pleased to learn I sold all but one the very next day... Sue Ellen, who I doubt has reached 30, teaches history at nearby Kingsborough CC. She's been dressed to kill all week. It's spring break and she's been partying. Monday she was a bit hungover and I helped her track down some money she dropped. Yesterday she wore a chic leather jacket and matching knee high boots. Today her lips were painted a fiery red. I was reminded of the Van Halen song and video, Hot for Teacher. Whatever happened to Waldo?
It was a slow day in terms of sales. My thanks to the two buyers. None of Simon's donation of classics in Russian sold, although several people took a look at them. Maybe tomorrow.
