June Recap

New York remains what it has always been : a city of ebb and flow, a city of constant shifts of population and economics, a city of virtually no rest. It is harsh, dirty, and dangerous, it is whimsical and fanciful, it is beautiful and soaring – it is not one or another of these things but all of them, all at once, and to fail to accept this paradox is to deny the reality of city existence. Paul Goldberger

Once again, New York did us right, this time for my daughter’s 15th birthday.  June was a month on the go.  Nashville, New York and Vegas twice for good luck.  My sister kicked some cancer ass. Lakers won it all.  My parents celebrated another year on planet Earth.  Oh, and then there was soccer.  We’ve watched nearly every game of the World Cup and have become even bigger fans.  Brittany can’t wait to play again. As for the list…

What’s Done

#10. Saw at least ten new movies. Can’t wait to see Inception later this month.

#39. Tripled my bets on the craps table and won.  However, we’re still down for the               year.  Must get back and rectify this.

#41. Enjoyed a couple of pizzas at Adrienne’s, our favorite NYC pizza joint.

#42. Took Brit to see Blue Man Group in NYC. 

#55. Saw a great bar band on Honky Tonk row in Nashville.

#61. Enjoyed some Southern Hospitality. 

In Progress

#1. We leased a downtown office to run our production house out of. I really do need         to learn spanish. 

#14 & 15. Read Kitchen Confidential, London, the Biography and Extremely Loud and                      Incredibly Close.

#20. Added the pools at the Bellagio and Cesar’s Palace to the list. Hopefully the June           Gloom burns off soon, so we can try out some LA pools.

That’s about it. We return to July already in progress.
