Last night, my friends and I saw To Have and Have Not at the 2006 HBO Bryant Park Summer Film Festival. Sadly, I fell asleep even before that famous line: "You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow."

I treated my dad to a big Father's Day steak dinner at Bryant & Cooper Steakhouse in Roslyn, New York. Mmmm! Meat!

Lunch at Caffe Barocco is always a nice break from work.

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to see The Public Theater perform Macbeth as part of their Shakespeare in the Park series. It was very good. Liev Schrieber, as Macbeth, delivered a commanding performance, which reminded me of his performance in The Manchurian Candidate. However, I thought Jennfer Ehle was a bit weak as Lady Macbeth. What was truly marvelous was the way the weather in all of its swings and swirls added an unexpected enhancing effect to the show. It was almost like nature was giving a performance as well.

After a recent trip to West Virginia, some friends and I stopped for steamed crabs at Obrycki's in Baltimore, MD.
