A lovely Sunday: Film Forum twofers: Purple Noon<\/em> and Strangers on a Train.<\/em> Alain Delon was gorgeous in the 1960s French version of Patricia Highsmith’s Ripley mystery. The Hitchcock was like a much loved story being told to children, this time the children were 50+ and packed the Film Forum. I assume that most of the audience had seen the movie a million times. There were giggles and guffaws when Robert Walker was his most awful Bruno self. Afterwards, a bar on Second Avenue and Thirteenth street to celebrate an Australian friend\u2019s birthday, followed by supper of pork pie, tomatoes.<\/p>\n

On one of those ghastly NYC days with humidity 1000 %, a friend and I dove into a movie house with a.c. like a refrigerator and saw Spike Lee\u2019s BlacKkKlansman<\/em>. It was serious and entertaining. The KKK was presented in its ridiculous outfits. I appreciated the scorn Lee heaped on them and the way their racial slurs were ridiculed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A shout out for Via Quadronno on East 73rd Street. Ever other Monday I have an early lunch of their beautifully cooked asparagus and divine olive oil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A friend and I took a short walk in Riverside Park. He very patiently explained to me the mysteries of Instagram. Here\u2019s an effort.<\/p>\n
