pleasures, petty and otherwise

[bronze_ribbons]

From Paul Moran's writeup in Newsday:

Twenty-four hours before the Derby, Sis City, owned in part by Yankees manager Joe Torre, was beaten as the 3-5 favorite in the Kentucky Oaks. For the first time in their history, the Yankees were swept in Kentucky.

Other pleasures:

red wine, fruit salad, ginger cake and good company at a friend's party

riding the motorcycle down Broadway to/from said party. The weather tonight was perfect.

Christopher Hogwood's biography of Handel. "[Handel and Telemann] remained friends all their lives: more than fifty years later Handel remembered to send Telemann a case of exotic plants for his collection. Telemann's greatest service to Handel was introducing him to the delights of opera, an entertainment unknown in Halle."

Thank you -- and thank you also for the earrings! They were waiting for me when I got home just now, and will be perfect for the outfit I'm going to wear tomorrow. :-) :-) :-)
