I am texting this blog in the color of The City of Hope, the organization whose function is to raise funds for research to cure various diseases, but particularly for the cure of cancer. Rhoda recently became President of the Huntington Lakes Chapter of The City of Hope. Since then she has had her hands full with the bureaucracy of the parent organization in California. I am personally not privy to all of Rho's frustrations with them, but apparently with the rules and regulations they trickle down to the various chapters around the country. Nevertheless, I know for certain that she is doing a splendid job in her "administration".
Last night we went to dinner with Bill and Bev Berger to an Italian restaurant which recently was called Cucina Rosa but now is called Cucina Mia. The owners got divorced and Rosa became Mia and her husband took over the other Rosa in Boca. When Rhoda had her birthday party back in February, it was in an Italian restaurant called Piazza d'Italia, but it had been called Piazza de Roma. My favorite breakfast place, Lox Around the Clock shut its doors last week. Bagel Tree in the King's Point plaza closed down l
ast month. Restaurants open and close around here like swinging doors. Possibly the cause is that people are not going out to dine as often as in the recent past. The price of food and gas has gone up as rapidly as the Dow has gone down. Whose fault could that be?

Today is Sunday, and instead of an expensive day at the Cinema where bottled water is $3.75 and a small popcorn and soda is $7.00, I have free entertainment on TV all day long. This morning it's tennis from Wimbledon, this afternoon it's the Marlins and the Diamondbacks. Later it's the EURO 2008 final soccer game between Germany and Spain, and this evening it's the Olympic trials in track and field and swimming. Why go out?

Why indeed? If the world comes to you, there is no much point in going to IT.
It IS Sunday, we are all still here, and all kinds of good things are happening, right within your own four walls.
Thank you, Dear Lord, for your many blessings.
I knew two gentlemen long ago. They were from Verona, Florida, probably not far from Venice.
However, do not trust Felismena as SHE is a transvesite and possibly a lesbian as well, since Celia falls in love with him, her, it.
