Art, Music and Literature

The local events calendar listed a  Great Neck Art and Jazz event ("Great Neck" being the neighborhood, and that's "neck" as in isthmus, not giraffe). We took our neighbor Flo and spent an hour browsing. There were three or four photographers, half a dozen painters, several people with homemade earrings and necklaces, and glassware decorated with silver wire, plus live saxophone from Sam "the Sax Man" Howard.

On the way home, Diana and Flo got groceries while I visited Baxter Books and picked up:

• Monster Hunter International (Correia)
• A State of Disobedience (Kratman)
• Snow Crash (Stephenson)
• Midnight at the Well of Souls (Chalker)
• The Chronicles of Amber vol 2 (Zelazny)
• The Thirty Years War: Europe's Tragedy

So those plus the sax CD made a good haul.
