My friend David Courville passed along a news item about
the Bank of Japan's zero interest rate,
inspiring me to wait a little longer until they begin paying you to take their money. |

When trying out a new facial cream or ointment for the first time,
it's a good idea to put a dab of it on some out of the way spot on an arm or leg first, to test your reaction to it. When
trying out a new magical spell that's supposed to make you bullet-proof... |

My nephew Beau Harrington, a high school senior, very precisely and presciently
advised me on this very scenario last fall. I can't help
but wonder sometimes where he gets his information! |

We almost always see our friends Ken and Eve when we
go to New York, but we missed them this last trip; I was half-sick and we only went out about half-time. When I got back, Ken had sent me a nice link to a folksy, very personality-laden site that is essentially a
review of Delta Blues Joints. |

And now, you will see some pictures! First, this was taken about five minutes ago, in my front
yard, where flowers are in Louisiana spring riot; this is our native azalea. |
 |
This one was taken on Tuesday (Mar. 6), at the western
entry into New York City's Washington Square Park. |

Though the predicted major blizzard didn't materialize for Gotham, there was yet quite a bit of snow. I liked it. This is me, on Fifth Ave. next to Central Park, also taken on Mar. 6, by my lovely wife Susan. |

This is a mosaic embedded just in from the corner
of Christopher St. and Seventh Ave. South, in front of a store called Village Cigars, memorializing a small triumph over city beauracry. The excellent and absorbing Forgotten New York web site has more info about this, as well as much more... |
