I made it, took the overground, 9958 steps, and a visit to the members room. Yes, the overground, just one stop to Whitechapel then on to Sloane Square where I wanted to pop in and see what a Muji store was and if they had a colander for me. Lovely store, no colander. But a […]
To Victoria and Albert? A misadventure of epic proportions
Ah, after starting the day with a good stretch and some spying on my neighbors it was nearly 11 when I got out of the house. Another bus day, another attempt to get to the Dior exhibit at The Victoria and Albert Museum. Of course I wanted to travel by bus, I really enjoy the […]
Out and About London

Match 65 Croque Madame + Lucio Fontana
On 65th street just east of Madison I had a scrumptious Croque Madame today. The restaurant s small with a friendly neighborhood feel. I went with my new friend Ray after visiting the Met Bruer to see the Lucio Fontana exhibit. Now two days ago I had never heard of Fontana but in my quest […]
