Hello. Let's get to the weekend. Friday night, I bought a burrito and watched the film Wings of Desire. I borrowed it from my friend Jay but what Jay neglected to tell me was the film was subtitled. Not that I don't like foreign films, I do, I was just hoping for a nice, English, black and white film. The film turned out to be cool but it left me with more questions than answers. And if you know me, you know I need answers.

Saturday, Walter, "Sally" and myself spent the day in the Hamptons -- that was not a misprint, the Hamptons.

Bob was here

Otherwise know as the playground for the rich and famous. We had a fun day! The only mistake I made was not changing into my bathing suit when I was playing chicken with the ocean. Walter was in the same situation. The sea was all crazy because of various hurricanes. The ocean was so beautiful. We had to change into our bathing suits for the drive home. Yuk. My suit is about the most uncomfortable thing I've ever worn. We even ate dinner in our suits. We were in Chili's with neon blue bathing suits, I felt like a turd in a punchbowl. but after a few minutes I didn't feel as out of place as I thought. I was surprised by people that actually looked worse than us. Would it kill you to wear a shirt with sleeves?! I had the chicken and rib combo. We got back to the city after some crazy traffic and I took the Path train home. I like the Hamptons.

Sunday I woke up tired! "Sally" was right; running on the beach tends to make you sleepy. I gathered up my laundry and walked up to the laundry mat. After that I drove to the A & P. I was going to go home after that and watch football but it was so nice out I decided to go for a ride. I drove up the river and turned around. Not much of a drive but enough for this area. After that I walked around the Monroe Center for the Arts in Hoboken. It's an artists' community and the first Sunday of every month it's open to the public to check it out. It was cool checking out people's passions: Painting, photography, pottery, jewelry and antiques. I talked to some nice guys that make rock 'n' roll paintings. It was pretty cool. I bought an antique paper stamper, it's from some wood worker's union, it's so cool.

I walked back to my house and I was in for the night. Football and apartment cleaning is how I ended this weekend. I wonder how I'll do in my fantasy football league? I just looked at my team to see what they did and I'm guessing my team didn't do so great. Oh well, I have a lot of weeks to improve.

That's it for Monday.

Have a great day!

Always,

Bob
