My son's new dog, named Zayne, is part pit bull. She's the most gentle of creatures! She lives with his owners in Columbus, Ohio. She is fond of picking up my daughter-in-law's 6 in. heels and walking around with them in her mouth just to get attention. She has never chewed on them--just trots around and shows off what she's found. I love this dog.

Subway Culture

There is a lot of art in the subway tiles. Who would have expected that? Do we still put the extra effort and money into public expenditures to add a little artistic flair? I don't think so. Everybody complains about spending too much public money, but public art is important. Think of the many people this whimsical piece touched.

 

A piano student plays for the public in Washington Square Park. I took a video, but I can't get it uploaded. Grrrr. I think he was playing Shubert. My mother would know. She knows her classical music like no one else.
