			I am helping a friend with a dance school by working backstage this week for her biannual recital. What seems like about seven thousand kids scurrying around in costumes, but which in reality is a still impressive three or four hundred. The oldest kids can really dance, and there is real entertainment value, and the middle-range kids are enoyable simply because you can see how earnestly they're working...but the real kick is the ones in their first years, sometimes just four or five years old. They're just precious. I must be getting old. Older. The big show is tonight. Break a leg!

After waiting a day because of rain, my alma mater University of Louisiana at Lafayette was victorious today against the Clemson Tigers in a 5-4 game won by a bottom of the ninth scratch bunt single, an error and a whisker close play at the plate to end the game. Whew! To keep going in the College World Series, the Ragin' Cajuns now have to win, twice, against Stanford, who beat them in the first game. If they do beat Stanford twice, then they'll be in the championship game...quite conceivably against cross-swamp rivals LSU.

			Plant Image Gallery largely from Europe, Costa Rica and Galapagos Islands, making me wish of a similar site for all plants...and a knowledge of their Latin names, as well.

		Chapel on the shore	Went out to my friend Paul's place way out on Long Island for lunch. He has kept a few remote waterfront acres mostly wild, but there are winding paths and occasional spots of the descending terraces to the water where he has trimmed away a view, including this one, where we look upon a rustic chapel moved up from the rural south. Paul is a choreographer with long years of experience with stage visuals, however, and things might not be what they appear to be at first glance.

Hot time in the big city. Susan tells me by phone that, due to a tropical depression in the Gulf, it is actually quite nice in Louisiana this weekend. I am here in NY where it is painfully hot. Went to a birthday dinner for our friend Angella at Vietnam, which is on twisty curvy Doyers St. between Pell St. and the Bowery. An amazing dish of caramelized pork that I will dream about for the next few weeks. We went to Angella's house for cake and birthday song singing, etc. afterwards, and someone paid $4 for a bag of ice so that we could ice down something to drink. Folks like me from the sticks of Louisiana aren't used to thinking that you could pay four bucks for a bag of ice. But it was very nice ice.
