Having listened to the weather report I was armed with an umbrella, one coat, one jacket, two berets and a pair of gloves. The temperature was near ninety degrees. While the rest of the USA watched former FBI Director Corey, we went to the Museum of Fine Arts extensive Botticelli exhibit and were immediately steeped in 15th century Renaissance Florence. There was a charming Matisse exhibit and little duck feet painted on the museum\u2019s floor led to a Robert McCloskey celebration of <em>Make Way for Ducklings<\/em>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1659\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1659\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1659\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4759-7-225x300.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4759-7.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4759-7.jpg?resize=768%2C1024 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4759-7.jpg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4759-7.jpg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1659\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Botticelli&#8217;s Holy Family<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1660\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1660\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1660\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4757-13.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4757-13.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4757-13.jpg?resize=768%2C1024 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4757-13.jpg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4757-13.jpg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1660\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Botticelli&#8217;s Venus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1661\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1661\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1661\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4742-225x300.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4742.jpg?resize=225%2C300 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4742.jpg?resize=768%2C1024 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4742.jpg?w=948 948w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nymysteries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/IMG_4742.jpg?w=1422 1422w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1661\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Have a bite of Espinaces Gallegas, a delcious tapas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>We stayed in the Back Bay area. It\u2019s chockablock with tiny outdoor restaurants. We returned again and again to the Tapas place. Espinaces Gallegas is a delicious combination of pine nuts, garlic, golden raisins and spinach. I kid you not. Boston beer was perfect in the surprise heatwave.<\/p>\n<p>Later that day we watched snippets of the congressional investigation involving the business man and the government man. James Zogby quoted Musician Mikel Jollet\u00a0 who tweeted a photo of both Trump and Comey with the tagline: \u201cOne of these two men is lying. I wonder if it&#8217;s the guy who served 3 presidents from 2 parties or the one who said Obama is from Kenya?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Graphic Lessons: Recent thirty-five-year-old widow Millie Fitzgerald applies for a private school teaching job, faints on a stabbed and dying man in the school kitchen, deals with the only witness to the stabbing &#8211; a troubled nine-year-old, develops a crush on a NYPD detective and her dog dies.<\/p>\n<p>Graphic Lessons: Nine-year-old Dana is the only witness who overhears three people fighting with George Lopez, the soon to be stabbed Windsor School kitchen worker. Who can she tell? Her mother who never listens or accuses her of lying? Her father who\u2019s started a new family in Singapore? She tells Millie.<\/p>\n<p>Graphic Lessons: Something\u2019s eating at NYPD Detective Steve Kulchek: a failed marriage? surviving a car bomb? his girlfriend marrying his corrupt boss? screwing up an important case? It doesn\u2019t matter because he\u2019s relentless.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:connection<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-1638\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/nymysteries.com\/?p=1638&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-1638\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/nymysteries.com\/?p=1638&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-1638\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/nymysteries.com\/?p=1638&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span>Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-1638\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/nymysteries.com\/?p=1638&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Saturday I went to the Left Forum which is held at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
