Selling My Books on the Streets of Brooklyn 6/23 - In Brief

Here’s the Middle East in a nutshell: Syrian terrorists cross the border, kill a 14-year -old year old Israeli, who happens to be Muslim. Israel retaliates, despite the fact it wasn’t a Jew who was killed. Those who believe Israel and the Palestinian question are responsible for the violence that characterizes the region see something I do not. If Israel ceased to exist, would the brutality stop? I think not.

Congratulations to Michelle Wie, 24, who won the Women’s U.S. Open yesterday, her first major title. She burst onto the scene at 13, wowing observers with her 300 yard drives, humbling males. Many believed she would eventually play on the men’s tour. For some reason, her game faltered, and she languished in the middle of the pack for several years. She now seems poised for the domination that was expected of her. 

We should see many similar pictures of her in the future.
Also in pro golf: Kevin Streelman had missed his last four cuts, going home without any prize money. Yesterday he birdied the last seven holes on his way to winning this week’s stop on the PGA tour. He took home a million plus. He is an example to us all, no matter what we are doing -- Keep Hacking!

I worked too hard for too little return today in Park Slope. I lugged two crates, which weigh at least 30 pounds each, a long block and a half. I hoped the weight would be much less on the dreaded return up the gradient. It changed by only a few ounces. My thanks to the young man who purchased two paperbacks. If not for him, I might still be there, determined to have something to show for my effort.
