More Ramblings
I am really enjoying our patio. A lounge chair, an umbrella for shade, my iPad, a cold drink, and I’m all set. I look a long walk Saturday morning then vegged on the patio most of the afternoon.
Sunday promises to be more of the same.
Saturday night we saw Disclosure Day. A mature Spielberg explores the same themes as in earlier works, like Close Encounters and E.T. Government conspiracies and alien entanglements. Emily Blunt is amazing.
Afterwards, we grabbed a bite to eat at the diner, and listened to the Knicks game as we drove home. Got home in time to see the last five minutes of the game. Final score 94 - 90, Knicks won and became the champions!
Some of our neighbors shot off fireworks to celebrate. On to the victory parade!
Now we move on to FIFA, the World Cup games being played at MetLife …er, NY/NJ Stadium. I’m not a soccer fan, I don’t anticipate getting caught up in the excitement.
Sad news about one of our favorite restaurants, Jordan’s Lobster Farms. They had a fire Saturday night during dinner. The news reports called it a three alarm fire. The owner says the fire was mostly in an upstairs office. I’m not sure how much damage they sustained or how long they will be closed, We were there a week ago, had lunch with friends and shopped in the fish market. I bought salmon and flounder. Sigh.
I hope I can get to see Disclosure Day once it is available on streaming. I saw one interview with Stephen Spielberg (on Bill Maher's program, which is rerun Saturday nights on CNN) and I've heard nothing but good things about it.
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading blogs on the back porch. We had a visit by the geese a while ago. I did see those last five minutes of the game. I was at my dad's, and I was getting ready to leave, but I wasn't going to interrupt him to leave as that was so close.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the Knicks!
ReplyDeleteI hope the insurance pays enough to get things right with the restaurant so it reopens soon.
