Saturday coffee.
MAY 29, 2010
Not a cloud in a blue sky. The temperature is around 75 degrees. Coffee was outside this morning at Letizia’s on Division Street. Moms and strollers. Dogs and their owners. Ulysses is getting his summer cut. The Cubs play the Cardinals and there is some game at the United Center tonight. They skate or something. I don’t know much about it. Or care.
It is hard to read a paper or watch the news these days. The BP oil disaster is difficult to watch, hear or read about.
My daughter Leigh was walking after work yesterday and ran into a protest at a BP station in SoHo in Manhatten. She posts on Facebook, “I accidentally stumbled upon this awesome BP protest today. Mermaids drenched in dirty water shut the station down. It was nice to find an outlet in expressing outrage.”
