SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) hosts the Richard Avedon retrospective (jul-nov) and I haven't made it up there yet (sigh...). Hoping to see a few of my favorite portraits from this master of photography: his pictures of Ezra Pound (poet) & Isaiah Berlin (philosopher) from his Literature portfolio and Clarence Lippard (drifter) from the American West portfolio. I remember being stunned at the life size enlargement of Clarence Lippard - the last time I saw the American West collection there - never looked at portraiture the same way again. If you have the remotest interest in photography, go catch the show at sfmoma and grab lunch at the excellent cafe downstairs.

Caught this on KKUP Cupertino one evening and discovered a whole new genre - Brazilian Forro music. Will get you moving.

Short essays and columns from the master polymath.John Kenneth Galbraith: A Short History of Financial Euphoria (Whittle)
Dusted off this one from my library (an old Penguin imprint). Acquired some 30 years ago, last read around 1999. Still good as ever - short and to the point. Consider "Extraordinary Delusions and the Madness of Crowds" for an alternate. (****)
