You probably know that Cormac McCarthy's well-known novel, The Road, was made into a well-known movie directed by John Hillco

I took Pap into the city again to Frank's to get a trim. Disappointed with all the other barbers he's met within 20 miles, he thinks Tony, who is now the only guy working at Frank's, is one of the best barbers around. Pap is 94. Tony is also 94, or maybe 93. I'm not sure.

Observed while walking through McCarren Park in the evening.

We went to Bushwick.

I visited the old folks again. Signs were everywhere that old age wasn't enough to prevent Pap from trying to work on something somewhere. 

I had a client meeting a few blocks over from here. I took the long way to get there.

Frank Farina was my music teacher in high school and, maybe more famously around the regional high school band scene, our marching band director at North Allegheny Senior High School (NASH) in Wexford, PA, a suburb of the city of Pittsburgh. He died on August 15, 2012.

I like the idea that, if I wanted to, and had the time, and the energy to walk outside of the restaurant, I could sit on a bench in front of Wendy's and watch turnpike traffic fly by.
