Stopped off at the New York Art Book Fair. More overwhelming than last. Don’t these people know that books are so dead. Really last year there were two floors. This year they added on a whole tent in the courtyard. Too many books on politics and art movements that were obscure 40 years ago. Still some good stuff. Karen found a few she felt compelled to buy.
My nod to Lee Friedlander and countless other rear view mirror afficianadoes.

51 degrees this morning. Forecast is for temperatures in the high 40s tonight. Lit pilot light and lubricated the circulation pump. Everything OK.
Sue Chiafullo came by for prep on gallery sitting Saturday. She talks loud and over you. Hard to get a word in.
Still working on blog posting about marketing to old customers. This piece is getting out of control. Got to focus on finishing a junk. Want to use this as a value add to email. MailChimp.
Talked with Matt Almeida. Always dependable. Other clients absent for today.
Went to NJ for Meredith’s 50th birthday party. Stopped in Summit. Looked at library, had coffee across from train station. Opening of an olive oil shop. Stayed over in Berkeley Heights. Continue reading
Went for a tooth cleaning. Ann, the dental hygienist, is a runner. Should have guessed. Tall thin runner’s body. Teeth OK.
Finally took an axe to the new RiversideBusinessCoach.com website. Reduced the number of pages by 50%. One page for big topics. Only business coaching process pages got a bunch.
Talked with Angela Gonzalez, library director candidate. Not polished but showed some energy and passion. Set up talk with Bruce George tomorrow.
Got lease for 217 Warren from Nick Haddad. Some further changes. But he signed the final draft. Continue reading
Frank Tadley, photographer, friend, former neighbor, and now ex-Cantabridgian, sent along this picture postcard to announce his move to Lowell. Some observers are wondering not too quietly about the police car. An escort to the edge of the city? Protection from bill collectors? Fending off paparazzi and art bloggers?
Seen on rising this morning.
Dinner with Bob Greenstein and Elissa Parker here in Hudson. They stayed at the Inn at Hudson.
Went to Dr. Szilak. Heart results clean. Gained 10 lbs in year. Otherwise everything is on an even keel.
Spent lots of time revising template for riversidebusinesscoach.com. Also sent PR for DOG.
Going to NYC with Karen… Pick up pictures in Peekskill. Then, NYC to galleries and museums. Stay in Harlem. Uncomfortable about John. Continue reading
Ed in action on Nantasket Beach. Those in doubt were inside cooking rice and beans.
I found niece Maggie staring at a peak of Chef Boyardee cans at Stop & Shop. She was in some nostalgic revery of choice. I pointed out that a life mystery for me was the constituents of the the meatballs in “Spaghetti & Meatballs”. She thought the mystery lay in the raviolis.
Then, I picked up a can to look at the label. One glance reminded me of Michael Pollan’s Food Rules. One rule says something along the lines of, “if your third grader can not read the label don’t eat it.”

Parker graduated from Montgomery Academy Wednesday June 29, 2011. Karen and I attended with Ed, Meredith, and Maggie.
It was quite personal since there are only twelve graduates. Special gifts were awarded to each with amusing commentary concerning some quirk or talent.
It was especially nice to meet some of Parker’s school friends and some of his teachers. Unfortunately, I only captured a name here or there. Apologies.
Here are a few photos.
