Cross Town Thoughts
Hillary meeting with her war team at New York Historical Society two blocks away. General Petraeus heading a National Security Advisory Group in a round table session made to mimic a Situation Room. Nobody around on 76th Street on a hot afternoon as she was whisked in the side door.
Her “nurse” and “epipen guy” in tow. 
Fifty years since MLK’s Dream. Let Freedom. As the country becomes more khaki with every generation, it may be achieved. Meanwhile, there’s a tea party faction chiming in on impeaching the first Black President. For what reason?!
Perfect weather as a wedding carillon sang out at Helen Hills Hills chapel in Northampton. Love & laughter for R&JB. Birthday wishes ringing for sister CindyJo. Golfing queen. Julie Harris, “The Belle of Amherst” sadly gone. Mount Holyoke College and Emily Dickinson extoll her perennial portrayal.
Pristine scene as Lady Liberty looms over every green at the Barclays. Manhattan skyline beyond clear as a … well. Bon weekend.
Arab summer. Is it a coup yet? Democracy in Egypt denied? A murky question amid chaos and bloodshed. You know it’s a confounding situation when FauxNews pundits agree with Obama and Kerry’s laissez-faire policy.
What’s even crazier, is that Newt Gingrich starts making sense. Calling for Republicans to come up with their own ideas. In Boston? Wow. Is the world imploding in August? There isn’t supposed to be any news until September.
Anyway, been Dufnering ever since the ill-fated PGA. Hay fever hit early. Goldenrod go away.
A tale of two Djoks. A Serbian tennis star. Class act after losing to the sullen Scot. Quite a different path, Novak from Djokhar Tsarnaev, Chechnan terrorist.
77 years on 7/7 for a Brit Wimbledon win. Perry, ’36. You won, Andy! Would it kill you to smile? Looked like you lost. Lackluster tournament all around.
However…plenty of steamy family frivolity over the weekend. Somebody liked our new pocket hose. Don’t ask.
