This is what makes New York City an unbelievable place to live.
Neither rain nor sleet nor snow, nor dark of night can deter this dog and her owner from making their way around the block every morning at about 5:30 or 6. Way before 7:00 am when the trucks start to choke the street and backfire like continuous farts.
Except today at 6am when the sky was blue and the traffic really light, a truck backfired really loudly this morning which made Miss Murray jump. But then the truck driver leaned out of the cab and apologized for scaring Miss Murray. She's a house dog, right? Right. But still, he said, I am so sorry. Bye doggy....

springing intop summer umbrella firmly in hand
Saw three grey haired men driving convertibles today...red convertibles. Clearly i saw them on a day when there was no rain but for now it's like living in Seattle without the Pike Street market.

What I'm Reading
Actually that should be What I'm Still Reading...
I'm still reading about Winston Churchill but he and I have moved on to the years between 1932 and 1940. I cannot beleive how stupid and timid the British government was during those years. And I wish my Dad who was the head of the BBC here in the US right after the war was still alive to chat with me about his experiences. Unfortunately We all wish to go back to the source too late.
And I'm kinda reading some other book...can't even remember but will check in with the title tomorrow.
Went to Nashville for the weekend and swopped out incredible New York heat for iffy mid Tennessee weather and then came back to LaGuardia on Sunday night with the threat of thunderstorms hanging over all airports. No storms until around mid night....Had a nice time but I gotta beleive that Arnie and I can find a decent restaurant in Nashville. By decent I mean good food, menu that is interesting and a relaxed environment that is either is kinda upbeat but not a place for screamers. F. Scott's is probably the best but it is so totally Nashville country club that it just makes me laugh because of the pretensions. Then there is the down and dirty Vietnamese place which I love on occasion...So what else? Yeah, I know Merchants and it is my fave....
It's almost the end of the year and soon I will be free of the summer stormlet that is in residence.
Had a quick call from Lucy Banks who was en route to LAX with Danny who is flying into New York today.TODAY?! Omg, i thought it was Wednesday but not to worry because he has found another place to live....
